The videos curated on the social networking and video sharing platform TikTok depend on different factors including the age of the user. As soon as TikTok came into the market it became a hit and in the year 2020, it was one of the most downloaded apps. In this article, we have mentioned the steps to change your age on TikTok if by mistake you entered your age incorrectly.

Severe safety measures were taken in the year 2021 by the app in order to protect minors by making the account private of all the users under the age of 16 and not letting them change their age once it is set.
