What does AMOS mean on TikTok?

AMOS is an acronym that stands for ‘Add Me On Snapchat.’ Snapchat is, of course, the multimedia instant messaging app that allows users to send disappearing messages and photos to each other, among other functions.

Many consider it a little easier to talk to people through Snapchat as opposed to TikTok’s internal direct message system, so when people are looking to make new friends on TikTok, they may write AMOS to encourage people to contact them via a different platform.

Often, people will write AMOS next to their Snapchat username, making it easy to add them, but other times their username may just be in their bio instead.
