What is the ‘add yours’ feature on TikTok?

Similarly to Instagram, TikTok’s ‘add yours’ feature allows people to respond to a prompt on Stories with photos or videos.

The Add Yours button appears below your TikTok bio and lets you create prompt stickers that others can interact with. You can create a sticker that contains text, like “your favorite homecooked meal” or “your favorite summer memory”.

Then, you add photos or videos that relate to that caption. Others can then click on the prompt and add their own pictures.

How to use the ‘add yours’ feature on TikTok

If you want to use the new ‘add yours’ feature to create a new prompt button, do as follows:

In the TikTok app, tap the Add post button and create a video.
Tap the Add Yours button on the side of the camera or editing screen. You can also find Add Yours in Stickers on the editing screen.
Enter a prompt about any topic or select one of the suggested prompts.
Finish editing your video and tap Next.
Write a description, adjust the video settings, and tap Post.

If you can’t find the button in your profile, make sure the app is up to date with all updates.
