How to change TikTok avatar

For ordinary users

1. Open the TikTok application.
2. On the main interface, click the human icon to enter the profile page.
3. Click on the current avatar to enter the change avatar page.
4. Choose a new avatar: You can choose a photo from your device’s photo album as your new avatar, or use the camera to take a new photo.
5. After you complete your selection or capture, you may be prompted to do some editing or cropping.
6. Adjust the size and position of the avatar to fit the requirements.
7. Click the Save button to complete the changes.

For cross-border e-commerce sellers

For cross-border e-commerce sellers, if they are unable to change, it may be caused by the display of “multiple edits”. In this case, you can try the following solutions:

• If access is too frequent when liking and following, resulting in network delays, you can temporarily stop the operation and wait for a period of time before trying again.
• When registering a new account, if there are too many visits, you can exit the program, restart the device or re-download the TikTok software, and then try to change it.

In addition, cross-border e-commerce sellers can also change their avatar by uploading their TikTok account profile photo. The specific steps are as follows:

1. Click on the TikTok avatar icon.
2. Choose a suitable picture from the mobile phone album to upload.
3. Make sure that the avatar you upload is a portrait photo from the shoulders up or a picture used for identification (i.e. LOGO).

Notes

• Make sure you have permission to use the new profile photo you want to change.
• The interface and button locations may vary based on device model, operating system, and app version. Typically, find the edit button on your profile page and follow the instructions to make changes.
• When selecting photos, it is recommended to abide by TikTok’s terms of use and community guidelines to avoid content that infringes others’ copyrights or violates platform regulations.

Through the above steps, both ordinary users and cross-border e-commerce sellers can easily change their TikTok username and avatar to better show their personality and style.
