Have you ever seen little icons floating on your screen while scrolling through TikTok or watching one of your favorite creators? These are known as TikTok gifts.
TikTok Gifts are virtual items that users can send to show their love and appreciation to their favorite creators through both TikTok Live and the For You feed. These gifts appear as different icons and can be converted into different amounts of electronic money known as diamonds.
What is a TikTok gift?
TikTok Gift was created to allow users to interact with their favorite creators by giving them gifts. For a creator to receive gifts from followers, she must have at least 1,000 followers.
How TikTok gifts work
As mentioned above, to be able to send gifts on TikTok, you need to purchase TikTok coins. By charging your desired amount of money to TikTok Coins, you will be able to send a certain amount of gifts to creators. Each time you send a gift, the amount will be deducted from your total amount.
So how do you load those coins into your TikTok account? There are two ways to load coins. One is from a TikTok account or TikTok video. Please follow these steps:
Recharge coins from your TikTok account:
- Click on profile
- Check settings and privacy
- Then click “Balance”
- Click on “Recharge” and select your desired package
- Follow these steps to purchase from the App Store.
Recharge coins from TikTok videos
- Find the video you want and click comment
- Click the “Gift” button in the comment bar (because without it, the creator cannot receive the gift)

What is TikTok Live Diamond?
