There are a couple of ways this can be done, I have seen a lot of methods that are rather confusing, so, I’m going to try and make this as simple and concise as ever.
How do you DM someone on tik tok?
- Open the tik tok app.
2. Tap on your “Me” profile icon at the bottom right corner.
3. Tap on the three-dots menu option at the top right.
4. Select the privacy and safety option.
5. Scroll down and tap on who can send you direct messages.
6. Select friends, and go back to your profile screen.
7. Tap on the add a friend icon at the top left corner.
8. On the next page, you can either search for a friend, invite a friend, find contacts, or find Facebook friends, and add tap follow and add them to your friend list.
9. Go back to the tik tok home page where you have all the videos.
10. Tap on Inbox, at the bottom, next to the ‘+’ icon.
11. Tap on the direct message icon, at the top right corner.
12. You might not see any friends on the list just yet. Simply tap on the + icon at the top right corner, and select any friend from your list that you had invited and followed, and send him/her a message.
That is how it works. If you access your inbox before adding any friend, you might not see any friend available for you to DM unless you search for them from the search box.
You have to first find a friend and follow them before you can add them to your inbox and chat with them.
