Do you want to change your age on TikTok? Follow the guide to know what are the possible steps and how you can make it possible. We shall see any points to avoid and things to strictly follow. So, let us begin.
Can someone change their age on TikTok?
Not really. You cannot change your age on TikTok while going into the settings. Things are a little more complicated here, as it goes against the policies and conditions of TikTok to have certain kinds of content visible or not visible to people who are minors. But there are a few workarounds that can work just fine for you if you are ready.
Ways to change your age on TikTok
Now that we know that there is no straightforward way to change one’s age on a TikTok account, let us walk you through the workarounds and the possible ways that will still be open for you. Here they are!
Reaching out for help
- This is one way and quite simple also. For this, go to your profile, then “Settings and Privacy.”
- Now scroll down and select “Report a Problem.”
- Tap on “Account and Profile,” then “Editing Profile”. After that, click on “Other.”
- Select “Need More Help?” to open a feedback form, which will take you to the next section.
- Clearly explain that you entered the wrong birthday or birth year and need to update it. This, however, comes with a responsibility which we shall discuss ahead.
- Once you submit the request, a TikTok representative will likely email you (that is the most likely and safe way) asking for a photo of a government-issued ID to verify your age. When they ask for it, you need to provide them with one as the process depends on it.
- After your submission, it might take a few days for them to respond and process your request.
- Now that you know the steps, let us still discuss certain important things about it. The first is that you should avoid updating your age when you are a minor, as your ID will verify it anyway. Secondly, if TikTok senses something fishy on your account or the kind of content that you want to consume that defies your age, they may take an action and can even suspend or delete your account.
Creating a fresh account
This is another way of going about the problem. While you will have to have a different account altogether, it can still help you access certain kinds of content or have wider freedom to choose the kind of content you want to watch. To make a fresh account, you need to start by entering your details and contact information, and then creating one. Now, when you do so, make sure you enter the age correctly, or maturely, however you want to. Although we recommend being true on the platform at least with the platform to avoid any kind of trouble.
