On TikTok, tagging is the action of mentioning another user in a video. To tag someone in a TikTok video, you must type their username in the video description, followed by the at symbol (@).
To avoid being tagged in a TikTok video you must follow some steps in the application settings.
First, you should know that those tagged on TikTok, as well as on other social networks, have different uses, such as:
- Recognize the work of other creators. If you make a video about a topic that has been covered by another creator, you can tag them to give them credit for their work.
- Promote your content to a broader audience. If you tag someone with a large number of followers, they may watch your video and subscribe to your account.
- Connect with other creators. If you like someone’s content, you can tag them to start a conversation.
