TikTok Pinned Comments: How They Work

Make a video reply to the comment you want to pin. When you make a video reply to a comment, the comment will be boosted to the top of the comments section.
- To make a video reply, find the comment you want to reply to (or pin, in this case), long press it, and select Reply with Video .
- You can then start to record your video. For the purpose of pinning a comment, however, you can record just a couple of seconds.
- Post the video reply once you're finished.
-

- To private a video reply, open it and tap the three-dot menu in the bottom-right corner. Then tap Privacy settings
and select Only you
under "Who can watch this video".
- You can also toggle off the ability for others to comment, Duet, Stitch, and more at the bottom of the privacy menu.
