In less than 30 seconds, you will learn exactly how to pin a comment to the top of your TikTok video to highlight great feedback or FAQ, including the specific reason why some comments simply won’t show the “Pin” option.
To pin a comment, long-press the specific comment on your video and select Pin comment from the pop-up menu. You can only pin one comment at a time per video, and pinning a new one will automatically unpin the previous one.

Important Limitation (Most Users Miss This)
The “Pin” feature is exclusive to the video creator. You cannot pin comments on other people’s videos. Additionally, TikTok does not currently allow pinning comments that have been flagged for review or those that violate TikTok community guidelines. If you don’t see the “Pin” option, ensure your app is updated and that the comment doesn’t contain filtered keywords.
What This Setting Does NOT Control
- Notification Alerts: Pinning a comment does not send a special “push notification” to all your followers; it only notifies the person whose comment was pinned.
- Comment Sorting: While the pinned comment stays at the top, the rest of the comments continue to be sorted by TikTok’s algorithm (top vs. recent).
- Global Profile Pinning: This only pins a comment to a single video, not across your entire account or profile bio.
Quick Decision Guide
- Use Pinning if a user asked a question that you’ve answered, or if someone provided a helpful timestamp.
- Use Pinning if you want to drive traffic to a link or a secondary “call to action” in your own comment.
- Avoid Pinning negative or controversial comments even if they have high likes, as it gives them permanent visibility.

Final Summary: Pinning a comment is a manual action performed by long-pressing a comment on your own video to keep it at the top of the feed for all viewers.
