If you’re looking for an all-inclusive guide on how to create a TikTok account, set up your profile and starting using the app, keep reading. Here’s everything you need to know about getting started:
In April of this year, TikTok crossed the two billion downloads mark — and that number is only increasing. If you’re looking to get in on the excitement, you can sign up through email, phone or your social media accounts. Follow these simple steps:
At some point, TikTok will ask for permission to access certain folders or abilities. You can allow or deny these prompts. Then, you’re ready to get started on the next part of your TikTok account signup.
Creating your profile is one the best ways to dive into using the app. It lets people know you’re active — whether you’re creating content or just liking it. Here’s how to set it up:
Once you’ve set up your profile, you’re all set to find and create content.
TikTok has a ton of abilities for what you can do. To get the hand of it all, follow these tips:
From left to right at the bottom of your screen, you’ll first see the Home page. It has two different sections in it. First, the default is your For You page. Here is where TikTok shows you videos that it thinks you’ll like. The more you interact, the better it understands your preferences.
Follow the creator and like, download, comment and share these TikToks right from each video. One helpful feature is the audio section. Each video shows which audio the creator uses at the bottom. Click on it to see who else has used that clip.
Next to the For You page, you’ll see the Following tab. This page only shows people you follow so you can connect with your friends and favorite creators.
Next on the bottom is the Discover page. Here you’ll search for content through hashtags, trends, users and anything else you’re looking for.
The middle, + button is where you create content. With TikToks up to 60 seconds, you can splice together clips, add filters, edits, audio and visual effects, songs and hashtags. Remember, the app has dozens upon dozens of features for editing — you can explore them all!
Participate in challenges by using the same hashtags and audio as the other users. It’s a good way to gain engagement. Also, the duet feature allows you to respond or react to another user’s video.
Next you have your Inbox. This tab is where you’ll see all your activity and notifications — follows, accepted requests, comments and likes. In the top right, you’ll see a messages button where you can chat with your friends and send them TikToks.
Last, your Me page is your profile. It has your posts, likes, followers, following and how many likes you’ve gotten on your TikToks in total.
With these tips as your basis, your TikTok account signup is now complete. All that you have left to do is start enjoying the app to its fullest potential.
