Best Times to Post on TikTok in 2025
Finding the perfect time to post on TikTok can dramatically change your growth trajectory. In 2025, the TikTok algorithm prioritizes **freshness**, **engagement within the first hour**, and **watch time**. Posting at the right time means your video has a higher chance to get initial traction — and this is what often determines whether a video goes viral or dies instantly.
