How to Set Up Your TikTok Settings

An important thing to know about TikTok is that it is very different than other platforms. On TikTok you are going to want your profile to be set to public to enter and win giveaways. 

Once you are in your account follow these steps : 

• Click at the top right on the 3 little dashes 
• In the pop up at the bottom of the screen now click Privacy and Settings 
• On the next screen click Privacy
• Make sure your account is not set to Private account. If highlighted with blue turn it off by clicking on it

Stay on the Privacy page for the next few steps while we get all your settings set up properly. 

Now we are going to make your account ready for winner notifications. If these aren't setup properly you won't know you won a prize and could miss out. 

You are still on the Privacy page from the previous steps. 

• Scroll down the privacy page to Mentions and Tags
• Set both to People You Follow

The reason we set each of these settings to People you follow is to keep spam tags away from your account. You have to follow any account you are entering a giveaway on, so you will be able to be tagged or mentioned by those accounts if you are a winner. 

Hit back and go back to your Privacy page and now we will deal with messages. 

• From the Privacy page click on Direct messages
• Click on the word Direct messages at the top and set it to everyone
• Turn off Read status
• Turn ON Filtered requests
