How to Text on TikTok if It Doesn't Work !
0If you’re trying to text or DM someone on TikTok and it’s not working, there are several reasons why this might be happening. TikTok has strict privacy settings and guidelines that can limit direct messaging features depending on the user’s age, account settings, and mutual connections. Here’s what you need to know to troubleshoot the issue.
First, TikTok restricts direct messaging for users under the age of 18. If either your account or the person you’re trying to message is registered as under 18, you won’t be able to send messages. This is part of TikTok’s effort to maintain a safe environment for younger users.
If age isn’t the issue, the problem could be related to privacy settings. Some TikTok users set their DM preferences to allow messages only from friends, meaning both parties need to follow each other. To check this, visit the person’s profile and see if you have the option to follow them. If you’re not following each other, try sending them a follow request and wait for them to follow you back. Once you’re mutual followers, the message option might become available.
You can also review your own DM settings. Go to your profile, tap the three-line menu in the top right corner, then select "Settings and Privacy." From there, go to "Privacy" and then "Direct Messages." Here, you can choose who’s allowed to send you messages: "Everyone," "Friends," "Suggested Friends," or "No One." Make sure your settings are not too restrictive, as this could also prevent you from messaging others.
If none of these solutions work, it’s possible the person has blocked you, or their account has specific restrictions due to TikTok’s moderation. In such cases, there’s not much you can do unless they adjust their settings.
