Replying to Comments on Tiktok — How Best to Do It

Being able to interact with your followers on Tiktok is such a nifty method of growing your account.

After all, Tiktok subscribers don’t want to follow someone who doesn’t even spend a few minutes of their time replying to their comments.

Also, the comments section is a great way of sourcing inspiration for your next TikTok video.

So, to start replying to comments on TikTok, do the following steps:

Step 1: After launching the TikTok app on your Android device, head to the “Comments” button on the right side of the reel you’re watching.

You won’t find it hard to locate the “Comments” button as it takes the shape of a speech bubble.

Step 2: Once you press the “Comments” button, you’ll then see all the TikTok users that have commented on the reel or video.

Swipe up the said list until you find that particular comment you want to reply to.

Step 3: After selecting a comment, tap the “Reply” button under the said comment.

If, however, you can’t find the “Reply” button (in case you haven’t updated your TikTok yet), just press the username once.

Step 4: You’ll then see the name of the TikTok user you’re replying to in the message field.

Tap on the message field your reply to the said comment. If you want, you can add emojis whose color you have changed to make your comment more unique.

Step 5: Once you’re done typing your reply to the comment, press the red upward-pointing arrow to the right of the message field.

Your reply will then appear under the previous comment made.

Very simple, right? 

So, are you now ready to begin replying to comments on the TikTok videos you’re viewing and posting?
