What is a creator account on TikTok?
In simple words, a TikTok creator account is an upgrade from a pro account. Users who were already using a pro account do not have to pay anything for this upgrade. It is also the reason some users would have noticed their pro accounts getting automatically switched.
As long as you had a pro account, it does not matter how many followers you had for this switch. It is important to note that if your account is converted to a creator account, anyone on or off the app can view your content.
One of the best features of a creator account is the creator fund and the question-and-answer upgrade. The question and answer upgrade allow the users to be more interactive with their followers. At the same time, the creator fund allows a user to earn via their video.
To be eligible for a creator fund one must comply with the criteria mentioned on the official website. These can be viewed here.
