TikTok has provided creators with a broader platform to connect with their followers using the live streaming feature to interact with them in real-time. The app has enhanced the experience by introducing 'TikTok Gifts' purchased with the help of accumulated coins in your wallet. The users can use their real money to purchase these gifts which are in the form of icons or animations and add it to the creator's earnings. But there is a catch, the followers can only send gifts to their favorite creators during their live sessions.

4. Click on the pink gift box displayed at the bottom of your screen and choose whichever gift you would like to shower your love with.

5. Once you purchase it, the creator or the receiver will get a notification of the gift. Also, the other viewers can clearly see your gift as well as your user ID.
