Tiktok's Favorite Feature: A UI Design Exploration

Ever wonder what improvements can be made to Tiktok's "Favorite" feature? Kindly read my take on redesigning their UI below.

Changing horizontally-scrolled categories to grid layout gives user easy access to each category. Giving access to user to change each thumbnail can be considered for further development.

Adding a sorting pop-up is an easy solution for users to find videos faster. It’s also applicable to other categories such as sound, effects, even places, comments or products.

Placing “collection” in favorite page gave a centralized access in hopes to simplify user’s journey to make a collection. That way user can have less cluttered favorited videos.

I also conducted small research regarding this improvement, if you are interested, read the full report below.
