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 just turned 16 today but I’m still not even getting the option. I’m pretty sure I entered the correct birthdate too. Why?

Community Answer

You have to wait awhile, possibly a few weeks or months. The system probably still registers you as underaged and it will take a few days for it to register.

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.
