Every people (especially teens) must have installed the TikTok app on their smartphone to create short videos. Initially, during the launch, the app received a warm response from the people. However, TikTok went through some criticisms and later brought up many changes in the platform. TikTok released many updates to the app focusing on privacy and security. One of the major changes is modifying the birth date. When users create a TikTok profile, they should submit their name, email, birth date, and other necessary details. Though TikTok allows users to edit their profile later, it doesn’t allow them to change their birthday.
New Change on TikTok
With the new update in 2021, TikTok has stated that users will be allowed to create an account only if the users are 13 years and above. Also, TikTok will make the videos private for users who have an account under the age of 16. In addition, users entering the wrong birth date can’t be changed later. But, there is a possibility that users can change their birthday on TikTok by submitting a request to the Support team.
