How to pin a comment on TikTok

One of TikTok’s most useful features is the ability for creators to pin comments on their videos to have more viewers able to see them. But how do you go about pinning and unpinning comments on TikTok?

Pinning comments on TikTok has become a useful feature for many users, as creators can pin comments summarizing or bringing out important points from their videos, showing their support as they do.

Sometimes, users also pin comments if a certain celebrity has commented, or if someone has left an especially funny comment relating to their video.

But if you’re new to TikTok, knowing how to pin comments can be a confusing thing to try to figure out. Luckily, the process is easy.
