Sometimes you want to highlight one comment over another, and lots of social media platforms let you do this. Now, TikTok is doing the same. Here’s how to pin a comment on TikTok.
Perhaps you’ve got more to say in the comments section, attached your next part in a video series or someone has just posted a really funny reply. There are lots of reasons to want to pin a comment on social media, and TikTok is no different.
Other apps have had the feature for a while, but now TikTok, which has over a billion users, is following suit and letting its users do the same.
Want to get involved? Here’s how.
How To Pin A Comment On TikTok
Pinning a TikTok comment is super easy, but it can only be done by the person who made the original video. So, no matter how important or funny you think your reply is, you can’t pin it yourself.
Plus, TikTok has now changed who can pin TikToks, which we’ll explain later on.
Instead, you’ll somehow have to get the author’s attention.
Creators can also unpin comments and change them for something else, so it doesn’t have to be the same reply for the rest of time. You’ll know which one has been given the privileged as it will say ‘pinned’ and will have a pin icon at the top.
To pin a comment, simply find the one that you want. You can do this by scrolling through the post or going through your TikTok inbox.
Really easily, you just hold down on the comment for a couple of seconds until a pop-up menu appears. Just the ‘Pin’ option, and now that one will be prioritised over the others!
Don’t fret if it doesn’t happen immediately, as it can take some time but should be done within an hour or so.
By pinning a comment on TikTok, you can continue the conversation, highlight a point you might have missed or just give attention to someone super funny.
Plus, if you’re making a multi-part series, it means you can pin the next video so fans can find it easily and you won’t lose viewers.
Where Is The Pinned Comment?
Once pinned, replies appear right at the top of the comment section, highlighted so it’s obvious to everyone.
This makes it easy to see for everyone. Plus, if you want to change it, it makes life easier than scrolling through to find it. Just long-hold the top box and unpin it when the pop-up menu appears.
For a while, some believed that the feature had gone, however, it’s just that not everybody can do it anymore.
Unfortunately, only certified creators and moderators can pin comments on TikTok now, which will be disappointed to many.
“I need my pinned comment! This is so disappointing!!” One user said.
“Why did they do that!” Said another.
It’s unsure why TikTok changed it, but users have been complaining about it. Hopefully, they’ll bring it back for all, but there’s no sign of that happening anytime soon.
