On TikTok, the "@" symbol is used to tag or mention other users in your videos or comments. When you include someone's username after the "@" symbol, it creates a clickable link to their TikTok profile. This allows viewers to easily access the mentioned user's profile and content by tapping on the link.
For example, if your username is "exampleuser" and you want to mention another user with the username "coolcreator" in your video caption, you would write "@coolcreator" in the caption. This would create a link to the "coolcreator" user's profile, and viewers can tap on it to visit their profile directly.
Mentioning other users using the "@" symbol is a way to give credit, collaborate, or acknowledge someone in your TikTok content. It's commonly used for shoutouts, collaborations, or to engage with specific users in the TikTok community.
