This simple trick is used for one goal, and it's not exclusive to one social media platform. What does "Mentioned You" on TikTok Live mean?Unfortunately, this doesn't typically mean that people love your TikToks and want to interact with you. A number of users are setting the record straight and letting people know what this actually means. User @thatcrazyboymom4 made a video saying that people aren't being tagged in anyone's Lives. What's happening is that people are changing the titles of their Lives to "Mentioned You" to get attention.

"They didn't really mention you." She said that this is just a method people use in order to catch people's attention so that they think they've been mentioned. This is supposed to pique someone's curiosity and get them to watch the Live. Hopefully, you stay and that boosts their engagement on the platform.

Some are using #mentionedyou to make parody videos or inform others about what's actually happening. What does "IB" mean on TikTok?This one isn't a trick, but it can be just as confusing for those who don't know what's going on. "IB" simply stands for "inspired by" on TikTok.

But it's also used as a hashtag or in the captions of their videos. Article continues below advertisement
