a) Profiles
Personal profiles in TikTok show the number of followers a user has, the number of people a user follows, and a user’s likes. Users can also change their profile pictures, see all of their own videos, and see videos they’ve liked.
b) Likes and comments
Likes on TikTok are similar to likes on Instagram. A user just needs to double-tap a video to give it a like. For TikTok creators, every like (in the form of a heart) counts. These hearts are a measurement of popularity. The more likes a video gets, the more famous it becomes. If users want to save a video they’ve liked, they can give it a heart and it will automatically be added to their profile. Also, TikTok has a comments section where users can discuss videos and ask questions.
