It is a simple process if you follow the steps in this article. Just remember to be genuine and make sure that you provide the correct personal details. In addition, make sure to have a Government-issued ID ready before you start the process. After all, you don&#8217;t want to be caught in a situation where you&#8217;re under the age of 18.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Date_of_birth\"><\/span>Date of birth<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you are wondering how to change your age on TikTok, you have come to the right place. By following these simple steps, you can change your age on the app. You can either contact TikTok&#8217;s customer support or submit your proof of age to the platform. Once you submit this request, the app will update your age accordingly. If you have any questions, feel free to contact us at support@tiktok.com.<\/p>\n<p>First of all, you need to change your date of birth. To do so, you need to upload your government ID or other ID that verifies your age. After you submit your ID or passport, your date of birth will change automatically. You can download the app for free, and it is available for anyone with a smartphone. As long as you have an ID, you can use it to login to the app and make videos.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Government-issued_ID_required\"><\/span>Government-issued ID required<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you want to change your age on TikTok, you&#8217;ll need to provide a Government-issued photo ID. If you are under the age of 16, you won&#8217;t be able to change it. However, if you&#8217;re over the age of 18, you can contact the TikTok customer support team and get the necessary assistance to change your age. Once you have the proper ID, you can then change your age on TikTok in just a few simple steps.<\/p>\n<p>Depending on your location, you may need a photo ID. Alternatively, you can change your age on TikTok by submitting a copy of your government-issued ID. After you submit your photo ID, you will receive a message asking for proof of your identity. In most cases, you will need to provide a government-issued photo ID, so you can verify your identity. Alternatively, if you have lost your ID, you can initiate the process at your local DMV.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Protected_experience_for_users_under_18\"><\/span>Protected experience for users under 18<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Among other changes, the video-sharing app TikTok has recently introduced a series of controls and settings to keep its younger users safe. By default, under-18 users&#8217; privacy settings are set to private. However, they can manually change this setting if they desire. Here are some examples of the controls that are already available on the app. To protect users under 18, parents can enable the Family Pairing feature and limit direct messages. They can also enable the TikTok for young users option.<\/p>\n<p>This update would make TikTok&#8217;s privacy policy incompatible with EU law. Under the new policy, users under 18 will only see videos they have approved themselves. TikTok has halted the update and consulted the Irish Data Protection Commission to determine the best way to proceed. Until further notice, it is likely that the company will remain committed to protecting the privacy of its users.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Requires_government-issued_ID_to_update_birthday\"><\/span>Requires government-issued ID to update birthday<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>To update your birthday on TikTok, you&#8217;ll need a government-issued ID. Fortunately, there are a few alternatives. In most cases, you can use a school ID or similar document. However, to prevent fake accounts and maintain your account, you&#8217;ll have to update your identity and provide proper identification to TikTok.<\/p>\n<p>In 2021, TikTok tightened security to protect its users from underage users. The app changed its accounts for users under 16 to private and removed the ability to update their birthdate from within the app. If you&#8217;d like to change your birthday, you&#8217;ll have to contact TikTok customer service and submit a government-issued ID. Usually, the TikTok customer service team will respond within a few days with instructions.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_it_safe_for_minors_to_use\"><\/span>Is it safe for minors to use?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The popularity of TikTok among teens, tweens, and adults in India has caused many parents to ask if the app is safe for them to use. The answer to this question depends on a variety of factors. For instance, a recent study showed that over 2.3 billion videos were viewed in Indonesia in January 2022, while more than half a billion videos were viewed in the Philippines in the same month.<\/p>\n<p>The new TikTok features were introduced in August 2021, as it sought to abide by the COPPA laws and protect minors. For instance, children 13 and under will not receive push notifications after 9pm while users 16 and older will need to switch the settings to enable the feature. Users under the age of 16 are not allowed to send direct messages to their friends. However, parents and teachers should still use the app with caution.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe width=\"531\" height=\"297\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/PyoHQLtLYsY\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Change Your Age on TikTok 2022 Are you a TikTok user but want to change your age on the app?
