We all make mistakes, and sometimes those mistakes lead to unexpected consequences, like entering the wrong birthday on TikTok. But fear not, because we have the power to set things right. In this article, we’ll guide you through the process of changing your birthday on TikTok step by step.

Can You Change Your Birthday on TikTok?

Once upon a time, it was possible to change your age or birthday on TikTok within the app itself. However, due to concerns about younger users manipulating their age to access adult features or watch mature content, TikTok made the decision to remove this feature. But don’t lose hope—it’s not impossible to change your birthday. You just need to contact customer support and request the change. Keep in mind, though, that TikTok now requires proper documentation to verify your age before granting permission for any changes.

How to Change Your Birthday on TikTok

Changing your birthday on TikTok isn’t as simple as updating your profile settings. You’ll need to provide a government-issued ID to confirm your identity and date of birth. Follow these steps to change your birthday on TikTok:

1. Tap on “Profile” in the bottom-right corner.
2. Tap the three-line icon on the top-right.
3. Select “Settings and Privacy.”
4. Scroll down to the “Support” section and tap on “Report a problem.”
5. Choose “Account and profile” > “Editing profile” > “Other” > “Need more help?”
6. Fill out the “Feedback form” with your request to change your date of birth.

After submitting your request, a TikTok customer support representative will contact you via email (the one associated with your account) and ask for the required government-issued ID to verify your identity and date of birth. If TikTok support cannot change your birthday, you always have the option to delete your account and create a new one with the correct birthdate.

How to Change Your Age on TikTok Without Deleting Your Account

Many TikTok features are restricted or inaccessible to minors. For instance, messaging, profile view history, and going live on TikTok are only available to users aged 16 and above. Surprisingly, TikTok does not implement any age verification during the account creation process. This means that you can easily sign up and set your age to 18+ to access the full TikTok experience. Here’s how you can do it:

1. Log out of your current TikTok account to reach the homepage.
2. Tap on “Profile” in the bottom-right corner of the screen.
3. Sign up for TikTok by selecting “Use phone or email.”
4. Fill in your birthdate using the scroll wheels—this step is crucial.
5. Type in your phone number or email address, verify it, and complete the signup process.
