You can now request to be verified on TikTok (and how to do it!)

Breaking News: TikTok has announced that users can now request to be verified on the platform. Previously, TikTok would hand out verifications to users they deemed necessary. Being verified helps prevent impersonation by other users, making it particularly beneficial for public figures and individuals likely to have imposters.

According to TikTok, not everyone has access to request verification. However, here's a step-by-step guide to check if you have the option available:

Ensure your TikTok app is up to date: Before proceeding, make sure you have the latest version of the TikTok app installed on your device.
Access verification settings: Open the TikTok app and navigate to your profile. Tap on the hamburger menu icon (three horizontal lines) located at the top right corner of the screen.
Navigate to account settings: In the menu that appears, scroll down and select "Settings and Privacy."
Access account settings: Within the "Settings and Privacy" menu, tap on the "Account" option located near the top.
Check for verification option: If you have access to request verification, you will see an option labeled as "Verification" or "Request Verification" somewhere in this account settings list. Unfortunately, not all users have this option available yet.

Please note that the availability of the verification feature may vary for different users. If you have access to request verification, consider utilizing this option to safeguard your TikTok presence.
