How to - pin comments on TikTok

Want to know how to pin comments on TikTok but not sure how? We'll explain everything you need to know in this comprehensive guide to the social media app.

Pinning a comment on TikTok allows users to highlight positive or interesting comments and, hopefully, encourage more of the same. It is a way to share useful information with others and add value to the conversation.

In this post, we’ll show you how to pin comments on your TikTok video and TikTok Live. Before we start, make sure you have turned on comments on TikTok.

How to pin comments on TikTok

When you pin a comment, that comment will be the first one everyone sees on your video. You can pin your comment or anyone else's comment on your video.

To pin a comment on your TikTok video:

• First, go to your video's comments.
• Press and hold on the comment you'd like to pin, then tap "Pin comment."

While Instagram lets you pin up to three comments, you can only pin one comment at a time. If you'd like to have another comment pinned, you need to replace the existing one.

To replace a pinned comment on your TikTok video:

• Go to the comment section.
• Press and hold on the comment you'd like to replace your pinned comment, then tap "Pin and replace."

We hope TikTok will raise the number of comments you can pin so you don't have to go through the hassle of replacing a comment whenever you find another one that is more funny or insightful.
