In this guide, I will show you how to request Tiktok to change your age on the app profile. It is always important to properly disclose your age while using social media. We all know social networking apps have content that caters to all age categories. So specifying your age will help a platform curate and provide content meant for the audience of your age category. TikTok has made it stringent for users to mention their age.
According to age, certain features of TikTok will be available to them. Unless the user is above 18 years of age, they cant use live streaming, private messaging, etc. A significant chunk of TikTok users also faced a ban for wrongly mentioning their ages. If someone provides wrong information about their age intentionally or otherwise, they can still change it and put up their current age.

How to Change Your Age on TikTok
Remember that you cannot change the age directly from the TikTok iOS or Android app. You have to request TikTok to make changes to your account data by sending them a privacy report.
For citing your correct age, you have to provide some proof for your age. It can be any document that has your actual date of birth. TikTok will verify that and will change your age on the profile.
