The ‘add yours’ Feature on TikTok

Just like Instagram, TikTok also offers an ‘add yours’ feature which enables users to respond to a prompt on Stories by sharing photos or videos.

The Add Yours button is located beneath your TikTok bio and allows you to make prompt stickers that others can engage with. These stickers can feature text such as “your go-to homemade dish”or “your most cherished summer moment”.

Next, you include images or videos that correspond with the caption. This allows others to click on the prompt and contribute their own visuals.
