Commence by opening the TikTok application on your iPhone. Browse and identify the specific video you wish to download. Tap on the 'Share' icon appearing as an arrow located at the bottom right of your screen. After tapping the 'Share' button, scroll down past the initial options and tap on 'Live Photo'.

Saving the Video as a Live Photo
After tapping the 'Share' button, scroll down past the initial options and tap on 'Live Photo'. The TikTok video will then convert into a live photo within a few seconds and automatically save to your iPhone's camera roll. If the process doesn't initiate or complete, confirm that you're connected to a reliable network and ensure that you've granted TikTok permission to access your camera roll.

Converting the Live Photo to Video
Once the TikTok video is saved as a live photo, close the TikTok app and open your Photos app. Navigate to the 'Recents' album and select the saved live photo. Click on the menu icon on the top right and choose 'Save as Video'. This process allows you to keep the TikTok video as a file on your iPhone, minus the watermark. At this point, you might observe that there's no accompanying sound.

Adding Sound to the Saved Video
If you want the original audio along with the video, return to the TikTok app and select the same video to share again. This time, choose to save it as a video to your camera roll from the share options. This will give you two files – the video without the watermark (but without sound), and the video with the watermark (with sound). Use free editing tools like CapCut or iMovie to merge the video footage from the first file with the audio from the second, resulting in a perfect TikTok video on your iPhone, without a watermark.
