Sending a video you like to a friend on Tik Tok is easy:

1. During video playback, click the arrow icon in the lower right corner of the screen.
2. Specify the method of sending and the user to whom you want to send the video. This can be a Tik Tok user (the uploaded video will then appear in the PM) or an account owner on another social network (a link to the video will be sent). You can also sign the video before sending it.
3. Click “Submit“.

If you want to download the video to your smartphone, find the “Share” button in the menu. In this section, you can also create GIFs from videos for further transmission in a compressed format.

Sending images

Unfortunately, the TT platform does not support image transfer. But there is a way out. You can link to an image from another social network, and then paste it into a chat with a user.

Sending stickers or emoticons

To make your post more interesting, TikTok has a feature to send emojis and stickers. For this:

1. Select the user you want to send an email to from your friends list.
2. Click on the smiley icon next to the submit button.
3. A list of all emoticons and stickers will open at the bottom, select and click on the appropriate one.

Send GIF

Now right on the TT platform, users have the ability to send GIF animations. To send a GIF:

1. Go to PM and select the friend you want to send the gif to.
2. Click on the smiley icon next to the submit button.
3. Click “GIF“. A list of the most popular images will appear, but you can find the one you want by simply typing in keywords in the “Search” section.
4. After choosing the option you like, just click on the gif, it will automatically redirect you to the dialog box.

How to pin a post

To pin a message:

1. Go to direct.
2. Select the desired conversation.
3. Click and hold on the desired message.
4. In the context menu, select “Pin Top“.

Delete chats

In order not to accumulate old and unnecessary correspondence, we recommend that you regularly clean chats or certain SMS. For this:

• Launch the TT program and log in to your account
• Press “Inbox”.
• Click the letter icon in the upper right corner.
• Click the desired dialog.
• Delete unwanted messages in this chat.
• Refresh the page.

How to completely clear a chat

Completely clearing conversations not only makes chat easier to navigate, it also frees up storage space for apps. To completely delete a chat, the user must:

• Start the TT program and log in to the system.
• Go to the “Inbox” page.
• Click on the letter icon in the upper right corner.
• Select the desired chat and hold until the delete function appears.
• Remove unnecessary threads and refresh the page.

Before deleting, make sure that the data does not contain important information.

Restoring deleted chats

The app cannot recover deleted emails or conversations. Also, they cannot be archived. Before deleting, it is better to think about the solution so that you do not regret the loss of data later. As a last resort, you can contact support.

How to close messages in TT

By default, only friends can write to you. What are the options here:

• Nobody – You can disable messaging entirely.
• Friends – Only the followers you follow (that is, those with whom you have a joint subscription with) can write to you.
• Everything – any of your subscribers can write to you.

If you are under 16 years old, chats work with restrictions. For example, you cannot send messages or open suspicious incoming SMS.

To prevent anyone from sending you emails, you must change your access settings. For this:

1. Launch the program and log in.
2. Enter “Settings“.
3. Click on “Privacy” and scroll down.
4. Look for the sign “Who can send you private messages“.
5. Click “No one”.

Now users cannot write letters to you.You can disable this feature in the same way, but at the end select the “All” label.

Remove access to messages for one user

Sometimes subscribers are rude and tactless, and the best way to stop communicating with them is to block them.

1. Launch the TT program and log in to your account
2. Go to your profile, click “Me“.
3. Click the three dots in the upper right corner.
4. Select the “Complaint” section and click on it.
5. Leave a complaint, specify specific users.
6. Submit a complaint and refresh the page.

After these actions, the blocked user will not be able to disturb you with their messages, because this opportunity will be blocked.
