What does 'cleaning up' mean in TikTok and how is it done in the app?

Anchoring messages in the comment field is a current feature of TikTok. This can be found on other social networks such as YouTube or Twitter, but there are separate rules on TikTok. Therefore, it is very important to know everything about this function so that you can use it in your own videos on this social network.

What happens to the comments that are anchored in the TikTok videos?

When the creator of the video anchors or repairs a comment, this always remains the first comment of the video. In this sense, the comments are the ones that appear first among all comments that appear regardless of the date of their creation or the number of reactions they have.

In other social networks, it doesn't matter how many comments are published, but TikTok at the moment only allows a fixed video comment. You should also know that you can set a comment from each follower and those made in the uploaded videos.

What are the advantages of this function in TikTok comments?

Your videos have some very important advantages when you leave comet anchors or fixings. For example, you can redirect to the public or pay attention of them in some information you want to provide. This type of comment also affects the length of stay of the videos and the ability to activate direct messages in this application.

Redirect public

The posted comments allow you to redirect to your audience and other followers who reach the video. Well, you could comment with direct connection to another of your most popular videos so you can see it. You can of course do this in the description of the uploaded video. However, you can redirect the public to another TikTok channel if your video has been commented on.

Focus your attention

Another advantage of anchoring comments from followers is to draw the public's attention. With this in mind, there are always some users who enter the exact minute or second where something interesting happens in the video. If this action is of interest, you can publish or anchor this comment so that people can pay more attention and carefully watch this part of the clip.

Increase the length of stay

The length of stay of the videos can be influenced by the published comments. The more I like this comment or react to it, the more the platform algorithm will accept it as interesting content the video. Therefore, this is positioned under the videos recommended or suggested for other users. That means more visits and views for your channel and video.

Another action that can be performed through the published comments is reminders and warnings. For example, you can add important information about what is displayed on the channel and future videos. You don't just remember the rules of your TikTok community so that all comments are respectful. Otherwise, you may find that those who do not follow these rules are blocked users and cannot comment or see the content further.
