About comments on TikTok
You can allow people to comment on your videos as a way to interact and build connections with the TikTok community.
Choose who can comment on your videos in your settings
In your account privacy settings, you can choose who can comment on your videos:
• Everyone (only for public accounts): If you choose Everyone and you have comments turned on, then anyone can comment on your video.
• Followers (only for private accounts): If you choose Followers and you have comments turned on, only people following you on TikTok can comment on your videos.
• Followers that you follow back: If you choose Followers that you follow back and you have comments turned on, then only your friends can comment on your video. Friends are people on TikTok who you follow and who follow you back.
• No one: If you choose No one, then comments will be turned off on all your existing videos at one time in your privacy settings. This means you don't have to go to each of your videos individually to turn off comments.
Turn comments on or off for each of your videos
You can turn comments off or on before you post a video, or for an existing video:
• If you turn comments on: The group you selected in the Who can comment on your video setting for all your videos can comment on this video. For example, if you chose to allow only your Followers to comment on all your videos, then if you turn on comments for a single video, only your Followers can comment on your video.
• If you turn comments off: No one can comment on your video.
