There are some acronyms on TikTok which are connected to trends and challenges, while others focus on user behaviours and interactions.
DNI is one which falls into the latter category, as an instruction.
On TikTok, DNI usually stands for ‘Do Not Interact’.
It is used as part of the caption for a post which the creator wants to limit in terms of interaction. By adding DNI to a post, followed by a username or a specific user group, the creator is telling those individuals or users not to interact or engage with the content.
Examples of DNI in Use on TikTok
Here are some examples of DNI being used on TikTok…
- Minors DNI – this is arguably the most common use of DNI on TikTok, linked to adult content. By adding this acronym, the creator is saying that the content is not suitable for younger users and those under the age of 18
- @USERNAME DNI – if a creator uses DNI connected with an individual username, it could be that they are asking for an opinion or want to gage the reaction of others without input from a close friend or someone else involved
