How to pin a comment on TikTok

One of TikTok’s most useful features is the ability for creators to pin comments on their videos to have more viewers able to see them. But how do you go about pinning and unpinning comments on TikTok?

Pinning comments on TikTok has become a useful feature for many users, as creators can pin comments summarizing or bringing out important points from their videos, showing their support as they do.
