The magnetic dipole moments of the ${cal D}_2$, and ${cal D}_{S_2}$, ${cal B}_2$, and ${cal B}_{S_2}$ heavy tensor mesons are estimated in framework of the light cone QCD sum rules. It is observed that the magnetic dipole moments for the charged mesons are larger than that of its neutral counterpart. It is found that the $SU(3)$ flavor symmetry violation is about 10% in both $b$ and $c$ sectors.
