TikTok doesn't have visible timestamps, and there's articles about that: wired.com/story/tiktok-t…. But there's an easy way to figure out the time a TikTok was uploaded. Here's how. #OSINT
Step 1:

Find any TikTok you're interested in on the *desktop* version: tiktok.com/trending.
(I'll use this one by the @washingtonpost, because they're just really good at it.)
@washingtonpost Step 2:

Get the unique URL for this TikTok by copying it from the bottom right corner after you've clicked on the video. tiktok.com/@washingtonpos…
@washingtonpost Step 3:

Open the URL in a new tab. In Chrome, right click and hit 'Inspect'.
@washingtonpost Step 4:

This new window on the right will appear. Click it, hit CTRL+F and search for 'uploadDate' and you'll find the date in the YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS.SSSZ format.
@washingtonpost Step 5:

Convert the time to local time, because that format is in Zulu time or UTC. I like using timeanddate.com/worldclock/con…. So, now we know The Post uploaded their TikTok on June 5, 2019, at 12:15 pm.
@washingtonpost (And thank you, @davejorgenson, for the TikToks.)
