What is a bulletin board on TikTok?


The bulletin board is an in-app channel for creators to communicate and engage with their followers. By joining a bulletin board, you can follow your favorite creators' latest announcements, event updates, or other entertaining news.



How to join a bulletin board


When creators you follow create a new bulletin board, you'll receive a one-time notification from TikTok to join the bulletin board. Or you can also join it from the creator's profile.

From your inbox

1. In the TikTok app, tap Inbox at the bottom.

2. Tap Activity, then tap the invitation to enter the bulletin board.

3. Tap Join.


From a creator's profile

1. In the TikTok app, go to the creator's profile.

2. Tap the bulletin board displayed under their bio. You'll only see the bulletin board entry if the creator chooses to show it on their profile.

3. Tap Join.


After joining the bulletin board, it will appear in your inbox next to other message threads. Keep in mind that if you didn't already follow the creator, you'll automatically follow them when you join their bulletin board.
