This petition stems from a personal experience. I once sweetly hit upon a creative groove, carefully crafting videos in TikTok's draft section. A need to uninstall the app arose temporarily. Upon reinstallation, to the utter despair of my fingertips, all the fruit of my labor, those hot drafts, had vanished.

TikTok provides a platform for 1 billion users worldwide, standing as a significant conduit for creativity and self-expression (Datareportal, 2021). We are not alone in our predicament. Such instances of involuntary draft loss have simmered into a silent epidemic within this massive community. This does not only bring about loss of creative content but also serves to frustrate and demotivate creators, casting a shadow over the joy of content creation.

We believe it's high time for TikTok to introduce a feature that allows drafts to persist, irrespective of app deletions and reinstalls. Our creative outputs, our time and effort, should be valued and safeguarded.

We call upon TikTok to deploy necessary changes in their algorithm or storage system to secure drafted videos, preserving them from unintentional losses. Lend your voice to our cause; sign this petition to ensure your hard work and creativity do not fall prey to a single click.
