Unfortunately, you cannot send images unless they are part of TikTok (such as GIPHY images).

Question

Why can I "not send messages due to this user's privacy settings"?

Top Answerer

The user either blocked you (which you can tell if you cannot follow the user's account) or disabled the sending of direct messages (DMs).

Does it cost money to message on TikTok?

Community Answer

No, nothing for messaging on TikTok costs money. But in order to message, you must have a valid phone number.

Question

I turned 16 today but am not seeing the option to send direct messages on TikTok. Why might this be, even if my birthdate is correct?

Community Answer

You may need to wait a short period for the system to process your age update. It typically takes a few days for the platform to register the change and grant you access to new features, which might explain why you are not yet seeing the option.

Question

Can I tell if someone read my message?

Community Answer

Only if they responded to it. Otherwise, there's no way to tell if they saw your message or not.
