How To Pin A Comment On TikTok

TikTok thrives on interaction, and sometimes, a single comment deserves the spotlight. Whether it’s a laugh-out-loud reaction, a heartfelt compliment, or your own message to viewers, pinning a comment can instantly shape the vibe of your video.

With a little effort, you can put a comment at the top of the discussion, shape the chat and ensure that the comments that count are seen. In this guide, you’ll learn how to pin a comment on TikTok, plus how to manage, replace, and make the most of this simple but powerful feature.

 

What Is A Pinned Comment?

A pinned comment is one you manually highlight so it appears at the very top of the comment section on your video. Since it’s seen by anyone who opens your post, it receives more attention than others. It’s a great way to spotlight positivity, humor, or useful information.

How to Pin, Unpin, or Replace:

  • Tap and hold a comment > select “Pin comment.”
  • Tap and hold the pinned comment > select “Unpin.”
  • Pin a new comment, and the previous one is automatically unpinned.

Best Practices:

  • Pin questions to spark engagement
  • Highlight positive feedback
  • Use it to address FAQs or add helpful tips.

How To Pin A Comment on TikTok?

You can use your mobile app to pin a comment on TikTok like this: its easy peasy!

  • Open TikTok and go to your video.
  • Tap the comment bubble to open comments.
  • Long-press the comment you want to highlight.
  • Tap “Pin comment.”

This feature is currently available only on mobile (Android and iOS), not on desktop.

How To View Pinned Comments on TikTok?

Pinned comments are easy to spot; they show up right at the top of the comment section on your video.

To view:

  • Open the TikTok app or website.
  • Go to your video.
  • Tap the comment icon to open comments.
  • The pinned comment appears first, clearly marked for visibility.

It is there until you manually replace or get rid of it.

How To Replace Pinned Comments on TikTok?

The process for featuring a new comment is the same as pinning. Below are the easy steps:

  • Go to your video and open the comments.
  • Find a new comment you want to highlight.
  • Long-press it and select “Pin comment.”

Well, to let you know TikTok does not support multiple pinned comments at once.

How To Unpin A Comment on TikTok?

If your initial comment doesn’t mean much anymore or you want to highlight a different idea, it’s easy to unpin.

  • Go to your video and open the comment section.
  • Tap and hold the pinned comment.
  • Select “Unpin comment.”

It will now return to its original position, and no comment will be pinned unless you choose a new one.

Why Should You Pin Comments?

The game changer! To pin a comment means you aren’t just highlighting it, you’re also changing the way people connect with your content.

But why does this matter? 

  • Guide discussions by pinning a question or helpful reply
  • Feature fan support and foster community vibes
  • Keep important info like video context or disclaimers in view.
  • Show gratitude to your most engaged viewers.

Growth on TikTok relies on a clean, kind and relevant comment section.

Tips to manage comments:

  • Engage: Reply to fans and pin supportive comments.
  • Filter: Use TikTok’s built-in comment filter to hide offensive words.
    • Go to: Profile > Settings > Privacy > Comments
    • Enable keyword filters
