How to get your TikTok Wrapped 2026
Every tap, the annoying waiting part, and what to do when TikTok gets in the way.
We'll walk you through it step by step.
Open TikTok's “Download your data” page
In the TikTok app (easiest on a phone):
Profile → ☰ (top right) → Settings and privacy → Account → Download your data
In a browser: open TikTok's data download page and log in. If the web login gives you trouble, just use the app route above. It's the same request.
Choose JSON, select all, request
On the Request data tab:
- Set File format to JSON. Not TXT: the TXT version is made for humans and leaves out what we need.
- Tap Select all, so your watch history, likes, searches and messages are all included. That's where the good stats come from.
- Hit Request data. Done, that was the two-minute part.
Wait a moment for TikTok to prepare your file
TikTok now packs up everything it knows about you. Switch to the Download data tab: the file is often ready within a minute. If it still shows as Pending, bigger accounts can take a few hours, sometimes a day or two. The more you scroll, the longer it takes, which is honestly a stat in itself.

Download the ZIP
Once it's ready, tap Download and save the ZIP. Grab it soon: TikTok deletes the file after a few days and you'd have to request it again.
- iPhone: usually in the Files app → Downloads.
- Android: your Downloads folder.
- Computer: your Downloads folder, named something like "TikTok_Data_….zip".
Upload it and watch your Wrapped
Open Wrapped for TikTok, pick the ZIP (no need to unzip it, though the "user_data.json" inside works too) and your Wrapped is ready in seconds.
The file is read right in your browser and never uploaded to our servers. It contains no password, so it can't be used to log into your account.
Something not working?
- I picked TXT instead of JSON
- No problem, it happens a lot. Request a new export and choose JSON this time. The TXT one can't be turned into a Wrapped.
- It's still “Pending” after a day
- Big accounts can take a day or two. Leave it be: requesting again won't make it faster.
- My download expired
- TikTok only keeps the file for a few days. Request it again; the second time is no faster, sadly, but it's the same two minutes of tapping.
- The upload says it isn't a TikTok export
- Make sure you pick the ZIP from TikTok (or the user_data.json inside), not a screenshot or a file from another app, and that it was exported as JSON.
- My Wrapped starts in the middle of the year
- TikTok only puts roughly the last 6–12 months of watch history into the export. Your Wrapped shows the exact start date. Likes and comments usually go back further.
- I can't log in on TikTok's website
- Use the in-app route instead: Profile → ☰ → Settings and privacy → Account → Download your data. Same request, same file.
Is there an official TikTok Wrapped?
Not really. TikTok has shown some in-app year-end recaps, but they mostly look back at the videos you posted. Wrapped for TikTok looks at what you watched: your watch time, binges, 3am scrolling, searches and your TikTok type. It's an independent project, not made by, affiliated with or endorsed by TikTok or ByteDance. More answers in the FAQ.
