The names on TikTok
There are two types of names on TikTok, your username and your nickname. A username is the @tiktokusername that other TikTok users can use to find your profile or tag you in videos. A nickname is an alias visible at the top of your profile so that others know how to call you.
While a username must be unique to a TikTok account, users can share the same nickname. Luckily, you can tweak both, and the steps are the same no matter what device you’re using.
