Did you know that you can change the tone of your voice on TikTok? After recording a video, tap on ‘Voice Effects’ and choose from multiple fun effects. It's a fun way to add uniqueness to your content.
2. Save Videos Privately
Want to save a video but not share it immediately? TikTok User Guide suggests saving your videos as ‘Private’. This way, only you can see them unless you decide to post publicly.
3. Two-Step Verification
TikTok’s 2-Step Verification ensures better security for your account. To enable, go to your profile, tap on the three dots, choose 'Security', and activate the two-step verification.

Instead of dueting with anyone, set your videos to allow only friends to Duet with you. To set this up, visit Privacy settings and adjust the 'Who can Duet with me' option.

Worried about spending too much time on TikTok? You can set a time limit for your daily TikTok usage. It's found under the 'Digital Wellbeing' options in the settings.

You can choose to be invisible in public search on TikTok. This is handy for users who want more privacy. Adjust this in the 'Privacy and Safety' settings.
