Found the internet!

Hi, I just created a TikTok account on PC and i don't know how to change my profile picture or bio. Is it even possible? I cannot find the "Edit profile" button or something like that.

level 1

Multi-billion dollar company cant afford to make a working desktop verson

level 2

TikTok is mainly for Gen Z'ers and Millennials to prance around in and waste their time on. Most of them don't even have desktop PCs or, if they do, they use it for nothing much other than to match Netflix movies etc. So TikTok has no need to bother to create a desktop browser or desktop app version of TikTok.

level 2

Because They are Chinese. LOL (I'm Asian)

I don't think it is. You have to use the app to do that. Unless there is some Chrome extension that allows you to see the mobile version on desktop. Haven't found a legit looking one though.

level 2

Seems dumb that you basically have to have a phone to change your name/pfp. Dick move on their part

level 2

So for me as a desktop only user, and trying to use it for my youtube video clips and stuff will essentially never be able to have a pfp if I don't have the app. Screw tiktok.

level 1

I'm having the same issue here, i guess we will have to cope :(

level 2

use blustacks 5 u can emulate the app and use it like a phone

level 2

shit im gonna have to look like a weeb

level 1

I don't know how the bio works but if you sign up using a social media account you already have it should auto change into your pfp on the social media you selected to sign up with.

level 2

In bluestacks they say to take photo from gallery but I don't have gallery in pc.

   Add a profile photo. This is the photo that represents you across TikTok. To choose or capture a new photo:

   • Tap the Profile Photo link at the center of the screen.
   • Tap Take a Photo to use your camera to snap a new photo, or Select from Photos/Camera Roll to choose one from your phone or tablet.

   Add a profile video in place of a photo (optional). If a static image doesn't do enough to reflect your personality on TikTok, create a 6-second profile video instead. When a TikTok user enjoys your profile video, they'll probably follow you to check out your other creations. Here's how to create your video:

   • Tap the Profile Video link at the top-right corner of the page.
   • Allow TikTok permission to access your photos if you haven't already done so.
   • Select a video from your phone or tablet.
   • Drag the sliders on either side of the photo to select 6 seconds of the video.
   • Tap Done to save your new video.

5.

   Tap your display name to edit it. Your display name is the first blank at the top of the page. When you're finished adding a new display name, tap the Save link at the top-right corner of the page.

6.

   Tap your TikTok ID to change it. Your TikTok ID appears in the second blank next to the outline of a person. You can change this name once every 30 days. Tap Save at the top-right corner of the screen to save your changes.

   • If the username you enter is taken, you will be prompted to choose a different one.

   Note: If the username or ID field is grayed out, or you cannot select it, then you have changed your username too recently.

7.

   Edit your bio. Tap your current bio, or No bio yet if you haven't yet added one, and then type a bio that describes you. Tap Save at the top-right corner of the screen when you're finished.

   • Try writing your bio so that it attracts new friends and followers, but avoid being spammy and/or promoting other websites.

8.

   Tap Instagram to link your Instagram account. Tapping this option will walk you through the process of signing into Instagram and giving TikTok permission to access your account. Once your accounts are linked, your Instagram username will be added to your TikTok profile.

9.

   Tap YouTube to link your YouTube channel. If you have a YouTube channel, follow the on-screen instructions to sign in to your YouTube account to link it to TikTok. This will add a link to your YouTube channel to your TikTok profile.

    Tap Twitter to link your Twitter account. If you have a Twitter, you can link your Twitter to the TikTok app. Note that you need to have the Asian version of TikTok to do this. Enter your Twitter credentials and sign in to link your account.

    • To get the Asian version in the US, follow this link on an Android. You will have to change your Apple ID region to get it for iOS.
