In its never-ending pursuit to help content creators get more engagement on their posts, TikTok has released a feature allowing creators to pin certain videos to the top of their profiles.
We are going to answer the question, “What does Pinned mean on TikTok?” due to it being a common question for those new to the popular social media app.
What Does “pinned” Mean on TikTok?
The “Pinned” feature on TikTok lets content creators save a select few videos to the top of their video feeds.
You can tell whether a video is pinned on a creator’s profile because you will see a red “Pinned” notice on the video. This makes it easy to differentiate from the rest of a profile’s video feed.
You can pin up to three videos to your profile, with the newest videos being pinned first. If you want to pin just one or two videos, you can do so as well instead of having three videos pinned.
Comments can also be pinned on TikTok. This is a helpful feature for when you want to highlight a comment that appears at the very top of the comments section of one of your videos. Unlike pinned videos, it is only possible to pin one comment. If you want to pin a new comment, you will have to first unpin the existing pinned comment.
How to Pin Posts on TikTok
If you want to have pinned posts on your profile, you can do so by taking these steps:
- Open the TikTok app on your phone
- Tap on the profile icon in the bottom-right of your screen
- Tap on the video you would like to pin to the top of your profile
- Tap on the three dots on the right side of the video post
- Tap on Pin from the list
You should now see the video pinned to the top of your profile’s feed.
Note: If you want to unpin a video, simply follow the above steps but tap on Unpin instead of Pin in Step 5.
Conclusion
Now that we have answered the question, “What does Pinned mean on TikTok?” you can pin up to three of your videos to the top of your profile. Any video you want to bring extra or special attention to can be prominently displayed on your profile.
