TikTok has a Tag or Mention feature where another TikTok user can tag or mention you in their video using the @ symbol. They can also mention you in their description, comments, stickers, etc.
01
When someone tags or mentions you in their video, it just means they added you in their TikTok video or they put your username in their video.
02
They could have done this maybe for inspiration or maybe the video creator wants you to look at the video and give your opinion on it, or they are giving you credit for the video. Or they may need to ask you something.
03
It could be any other reason really. But generally, someone (that is, someone in your following/friends) mentioning you in their video could be mostly good news for you.

However, given that TikTok, like any other social media platform, is not immune to scammers and bots, a considerable number of people have been experiencing the negative side of this feature.
05
Reports have circulated of people being mentioned multiple times in a video by a stranger, it’s pretty annoying, frustrating and probably a bit unnerving.
