If you are using an up-to-date version of TikTok and can post Stories, the option should already be available on your profile.

Just go to your TikTok profile, and you should see it.

Keep in mind, only you can see the blue plus sign on your own profile, and you need to be signed in for it to appear.

If you visit someone else's TikTok profile, the blue plus sign won’t be visible – it only shows up when they look at their own profile.

Why TikTok is So Popular?

So far, TikTok has been downloaded over 2.6 billion times from the App Store and has more than 1 billion active users each month.

TikTok's success comes from several factors: Celebrity endorsements, Easy-to-use interface, Content tailored to local audiences, Simple sharing of content, , and even with people outside the app.

One of TikTok's biggest attractions is its "For You Page" (often called the fyp), which shows short videos that are specially curated for each user. This style of content isn’t new; Vine made short videos popular by turning regular people into stars with just 6-second clips, creating a lot of viral memes.

Unlike Vine, which couldn’t keep up with new features, TikTok continues to evolve. It offers a variety of sound effects, songs, filters, and tools for interaction, giving users many creative options while keeping them engaged.
