While the majority of users are young teens, you can still use TikTok even if you&#8217;re older. In general, you need to be at least 13 years old to create a video on the site. However, there are some exceptions. You can be older than that.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"13\"><\/span>13<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You don&#8217;t have to be a teenager to join TikTok. However, there are certain things you should know before signing up. You must have a government-issued photo ID or a passport. You may also use a school ID. You must have a proper ID because TikTok uses it to update your age. Fortunately, most states allow minors to get a state ID as early as thirteen years old.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"14\"><\/span>14<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>While you&#8217;re still a minor, you&#8217;re not too young to register for TikTok. While you may be able to use your school ID or government ID, you must be at least 14 years old to use TikTok. This ID is necessary for several reasons, including the fact that TikTok updates your birthday from this document. Also, most states allow minors to obtain state IDs at any age.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"15\"><\/span>15<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Considering that half of all U.S. minors use TikTok, how old is 15 for tiktok? The study was conducted by Thorn, a nonprofit that fights child sexual abuse, and included teenagers ages nine to 17. The nonprofit&#8217;s research found that over the past two years, more than 86 million videos were removed, almost half of which were in the interest of the minor&#8217;s safety.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"16\"><\/span>16<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Until the age of sixteen, you will need to be at least 13 years old to join TikTok. However, if you&#8217;re younger, you can still use your school ID to sign up for TikTok. You&#8217;ll also need to submit a government-issued ID. TikTok requires this type of ID for updates, including your birthday. Most states allow minors to obtain state IDs at any age. If you&#8217;re unsure of your age, visit your local DMV to get the proper ID.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"17\"><\/span>17<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re a 17 year old looking to get famous on TikTok, there are some steps you need to take. To start, you need a government-issued ID. This may include a driver&#8217;s license or passport, or it could be your school ID. A government-issued ID will also let TikTok update your birthday. Fortunately, most states allow minors to obtain a state ID at any age.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"18\"><\/span>18<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Users under 18 will see a number of changes on their account when they login to the application for the first time after the age limit is raised. Among other things, people under 18 will no longer be able to receive comments from strangers, have their videos used in duets, and mark their posts as available for download. However, this is not necessarily a negative development. It is simply a sign that TikTok is becoming a more dangerous application for children.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"19\"><\/span>19<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The Internet has a funny way of rewarding people, but being famous has its drawbacks. While you&#8217;ll gain tons of followers and get countless comments, not all of those people are good. For one 19 year old TikToker, internet fame has been the source of a series of unpleasant experiences. After opening up about her life as a mom of four, Claire (aka @mamaclaire00) is learning a hard lesson. Her recent Met Gala appearance is a defining moment in her career. She wore a red dress designed by American couture brand Bach Mai and subsequently became the 25th most popular TikToker in the world.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"20\"><\/span>20<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>A 90-year-old grandmother shocked users on TikTok when she revealed her actual age. The video went viral after her daughter shared it. She credited her youthful appearance to her &#8216;good genes&#8217; and staying active. However, she did not use expensive skincare regimens. She only uses a simple face lotion and bar soap and water cleanser. The video has already accumulated over 2.5 million views, and has sparked controversy in the social media world.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"21\"><\/span>21<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>It is possible to be 21 years old and still upload TikTok videos. While most states require users to be at least 18 years old, some do not. If you are over 21 and still want to use TikTok, you can always get a school ID. In addition, you can use your passport to verify your age, and some states will allow you to get a state ID before you turn 21 years old.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"22\"><\/span>22<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>A Senegalese-born creator of the popular video sharing app TikTok has become the most followed person on the site. He surpasses Italy-based Charli D&#8217;Amelio, who has 142.3 million followers. Khaby Lame rose to fame thanks to his silent comedy skits, which often include complicated life hacks and wordless reactions. Fans have been trying to push him to the top of the charts, and it seems to be working.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/8U7sF8r4QSQ\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"278\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" width=\"497\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How Old For TikTok?
