Recently, to in an attempt to protect minors, the TikTok app makers now set the:

1. Age limit to 13 years old and are eligible to use TikTok
2. And those over 18+ only send gifts to their favorite creators.

Now, the new policy is implemented and some users who just signup for just for fun and did not enter the accurate information can’t share the same privileges. Some users are shadowbanned and they are not able to feature on For You page as well.
