While the popular social media app isn't intended to be a dating app, some people are finding real love matches. It may be because the app lends itself to authenticity and encourages users to truly be themselves in front of the camera.
Not only have singles been DM-ing their crushes on Instagram, but they've been using TikTok to find love. Believe it or not, TikTok is arguably as effective as some dating apps for finding romance today.
The good news is that, in this day and age, pretty much any social app can become a dating app, including TikTok. If you're an avid TikTokker, and you're still single, you don't have to spend your time on yet another dating app to find love (or someone for Netflix-and-chill).
There are two ways to search for friends on TikTok and both require that you know their username. Use the search box on the Discover page or the Find Friends page (under the Add friend button) to look them up by their username and follow or DM them on TikTok.
It's called Snack and it's billed as a "video-driven" dating app where users can "flirt-stream in real time" like they do on social media. Snack users can share short, TikTok-style videos of themselves to match, chat and "build meaningful connections" with their fellow daters.

Requirements for going Live on TikTok.
First, you must be at least 16 years of age — this is determined by your birthdate when you initially create your TikTok profile — and second, you'll need to have at least 1,000 followers to unlock the capability to go Live.
What age is TikTok recommended for? Common Sense recommends the app for age 15+ mainly due to the privacy issues and mature content. TikTok requires that users be at least 13 years old to use the basic TikTok features, although there is a way for younger kids to access the app.
The application has a new messaging option for users to choose from. TikTok now allows users to receive direct messages from every other user on the platform, even if they aren't following them. In order to receive direct messages from everyone, users will need to change a setting in the application's Privacy menu.
It's common to think of TikTok as an app made specifically for kids and teenagers, but actually only a third of TikTok users are under the age of 20. In fact, about 14% of users are between the ages of 40 and 49, and 7% are over the age of 50.
TikTok is Most Popular With Younger Generations
In the U.S., those ages 10-19 accounted for 25% of TikTok's active users. Here's how it all breaks down by age group: Ages 10-19 are 25% of users. Ages 20-29 are 22.4% of users.
What is TikTok? TikTok is a social media platform for creating, sharing and discovering short videos. The app is used by young people as an outlet to express themselves through singing, dancing, comedy, and lip-syncing, and allows users to create videos and share them across a community.
The company's website explains that if you choose the “Everyone” option, that means anyone can send you a DM. Messages from mutual friends and people you follow will appear in your inbox, and messages from people you don't follow will appear in Message requests.
You can turn your Profile view history on or off in your privacy settings or on your Profile views page. Turning off profile view history means you will not be able to see who has viewed your profile, and others would not be able to see that you've viewed theirs too.
Your likes will automatically be set as visible only to you, but you can change that at any time from your profile page: Access Privacy and Settings by clicking the three dots in the top right corner. Tap "Who Can See the Videos I've Liked" Choose between All and Me.
TikTok has announced that it's expanding its audience controls feature, giving creators the ability to restrict their videos to adult viewers. Prior to this expansion, the adult-only audience controls feature was only available for TikTok Live. Now the company is bringing the feature to its short-form videos as well.
The app is letting users restrict their videos so only viewers only the age of 18 can watch. In a blog post, TikTok announced an expansion of its Content Levels, which group the app's users by age and restrict the content seen by younger groups.
What makes TikTok different? Finally, TikTok is different from other platforms in many ways. Firstly, it has a short video format that allows users to create, edit and share creative content quickly and easily. Secondly, it emphasises creative expression through lip-syncing and dancing to popular music.
