If you want to go to Italy, learn Italian. If you want to go to China, learn Mandarin. If you want to go on social media, understand acronyms and abbreviations.
That's right - the fast-paced era in which we live is packed with shortcuts for words and expressions. TikTok, one of the leadest social media platforms at the moment, is no exception.

What does PFP on TikTok mean?
On other online platforms, PFP stands for "Picture For Proof", which means someone is asking you for a picture of what you are doing to prove it.
For instance, if you share something like "I just saw Madonna feeding ducks", people will undoubtedly ask you for a PFP (if so, please make sure you include the ducks).
Regardless, PFP on TikTok simply refers to your profile picture. This can be a picture of yourself (wow, surprising), but cartoons and icons are often used instead as they allow you to express your interests and style extra creatively.
What is the PFP hashtag?
As you may already know, hashtags are used to gather similar content together. Currently, there are millions of videos on TikTok marked with #PFP, and the content itself is diverse.
If you explore this hashtag, you'll encounter: artists drawing profile pictures, PFP ideas for you depending on your interests (as Anime, Marvel, etc.), seasonal PFP ideas (like during Halloween), matching PFP ideas (as for couples and best friends).
Overall, if you want to personalize your TikTok profile, clicking on this hashtag is an excellent way to find inspiration.
