A mutual connection is, as you might expect, a follower that you have on TikTok who follows you back.
This kind of connection means that both sides are actively engaged with each other’s content – liking, viewing, commenting on, and sharing each other’s TikTok videos.
These mutual connections are often people who you know personally outside of TikTok, as well as acquaintances and friends who you have met through the app.
Slang Terms to Be Aware Of
As has become the norm across TikTok, mutual connections have their own nickname.
More and more TikTok users refer to these friendships and connections as ‘moots’, or ‘mutuals’ – a quick and easy way to refer to a two-way connection.
Do you have any mutual connections or ‘moots’ in your TikTok circle?
