TikTok may delete drafts if the app is uninstalled, your account is logged out, or clearing the app's cache. This happens because drafts are saved locally on your device rather than on TikTok's servers. To prevent future loss, consider saving your videos to your device before logging out or uninstalling the app. Always ensure your app is up to date to avoid automatic logouts that could lead to draft deletions.
