How to Update Your TikTok ID
. If you’re looking to change your TikTok username or update your TikTok ID, it’s a simple process, but there are a few guidelines and steps to keep in mind. Below is a guide on how to update your TikTok ID.
Steps to Update Your TikTok ID:
- Open the TikTok App
First, launch the TikTok app on your phone and log in to your account. - Go to Your Profile
Once you’re logged in, tap on the “Profile” tab, which is represented by a “Person” icon at the bottom right corner of your screen. - Edit Your Profile
On your profile page, you will see a button labeled “Edit profile.” Tap this to enter the editing options.

- Only include letters, numbers, underscores, and periods.
- Be unique, meaning no one else can have the same username as you.
