At some point, however, you may decide to change the name. Perhaps you accidentally chose your real name, or perhaps you simply didn&#8217;t like the name you picked. If this is the case, you can easily change your name by visiting the &#8220;Edit profile&#8221; page. Here are a few tips that can help you change your name on TikTok.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Create_or_change_your_Display_Name\"><\/span>Create or change your Display Name<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you have ever wanted to change your display name on Tiktok, it&#8217;s a fairly simple process. First, you contact Tiktok to make the change. They will need to know what your current username is and how many followers you have. Then, you must wait three days. This will ensure that the name you want to use hasn&#8217;t been taken. When you have decided on a new name, it&#8217;s easy to change it on TikTok.<\/p>\n<p>The first step in changing your TikTok username is to select a new display name. You can use your current username, but you can change it if you want. In addition, your username must be unique. After you have made your username, you can change it to something else. Then, select your new display name and tap the Save button. Now, you can use this new name for other purposes.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve already changed your username and want to keep it, there&#8217;s a much simpler way. You can update your TikTok profile from your web browser by going to your account settings. Just log in and select &#8220;Edit your name.&#8221; You can also edit your profile video and profile picture. This will let other users know who you are. After the name has been changed, be sure to update your account and follow any other instructions.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Limit_direct_messaging\"><\/span>Limit direct messaging<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You can limit direct messaging on TikTok by changing your settings. If you want to avoid spam messages and other unwanted interactions, you can block certain users from sending you DMs. In general, you should limit DMs to those you follow and have a connection with. If you want to stop receiving unwanted messages from people you don&#8217;t know, you can block them on TikTok. You can also change your safety settings.<\/p>\n<p>To make sure you&#8217;re safe on TikTok, set your age to sixteen or at least 1 January 200. If you&#8217;re under 16, don&#8217;t worry &#8211; it&#8217;s possible to change your birthday on the app. To change your birthday, you&#8217;ll have to follow the account you want to block. If you&#8217;re too young to be followed, you can always create a new account. In the meantime, you can limit your direct messages to friends and family only.<\/p>\n<p>As for DMs, users under the age of 13 will lose their direct messaging capabilities on the app on April 30. The age limit is determined by the date of birth you entered when you created your account. If you&#8217;re younger than that, you&#8217;ll still be able to post publicly in the comments section of videos. But, if you&#8217;re older than that, limit direct messaging on TikTok and keep your child safe from predatory adults.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Restrict_livestreams\"><\/span>Restrict livestreams<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>To keep TikTok&#8217;s community safe for the youngest users, the app is testing a feature that limits livestreams to viewers over 18. This new feature will allow select users to toggle a button that will only let people watch LIVE videos that are tagged 18+. While TikTok has no plans to allow minors to view mature content, the new feature will help creators ensure that their content is appropriate for the broader community.<\/p>\n<p>In order to make the experience safer for its users, the social media site wants to distinguish which content is suitable for teens and which is not. The new feature will allow TikTok to ask creators about their content and flag it as mature when the content is appropriate for adults. In the meantime, TikTok will allow creators to tag their content as adult-oriented or family-friendly. If you&#8217;re wondering if this new feature is worth it, read on.<\/p>\n<p>This feature will notify users of LIVE videos that are tagged 18+. While the setting doesn&#8217;t necessarily mean that adult-themed content is okay to post on TikTok, this option is a step towards creating a safe environment for all users. If you think that your video contains inappropriate content, report it immediately. TikTok will also block accounts that post comments that violate their Community Guidelines. If you&#8217;d like to block someone, you can also contact TikTok via their Twitter page and follow the instructions there.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe height=\"248\" width=\"443\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/U4xjyuRMH5s\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How Do You Change Your Name on TikTok?
