“Pinned” on TikTok means the creator has chosen one specific comment or video and stuck it to the very top of the comment section or profile so everyone sees it first.
In everyday life, creators pin a comment to answer a question they get asked a lot, share an update, or shout out a friend. Viewers spot the pinned tag and know that message is important—like a quick shortcut to the creator’s main point without scrolling through hundreds of other comments.
Meaning & Usage Examples
• A dance-tutorial creator pins: “Full routine link in bio!”
• A chef pins the recipe in text so no one has to hunt for it.
• A brand pins a discount code right under the product demo.
Context / Common Use
You’ll see “Pinned” most under viral videos, Q&A posts, or when the creator wants to stop repeat questions. It’s a simple tap for them and a time-saver for viewers.
Can I pin my own comment?
Yes, if it’s on your own video. Tap the comment, choose “Pin,” and it sticks to the top.
Does pinning affect the algorithm?
No, it just makes the comment more visible; it won’t push your video higher in feeds.
Can I unpin or change it later?
Absolutely—tap the pinned comment again and select “Unpin” or pin a new one in its place.
