"ATP" on TikTok stands for "answer the phone."

The more you use TikTok, the easier it is to learn what the popular abbreviations mean. Over the last few years, we’ve seen abbreviations like "FYP" and "e/n" used in a wide range of TikTok videos. However, the abbreviation "ATP" is the latest to make its rounds again on the app.

If you’re an avid user of slang, "ATP" might not be new. It's a term that can be seen on other social platforms, where it usually follows its Urban Dictionary definition, and stands as an acronym for "at this point."

But when it comes to the TikTok world, the meaning is a bit different.

The abbreviation "ATP" on TikTok simply means "answer the phone," per HeightZone.

While the acronym can also stand for "aged to perfection," or "at this point," on TikTok and Snapchat, "ATP" is most often used as a call for someone to pick up the phone.

The great thing about this abbreviation is that you don’t have to use it in your TikTok — although it would make sense to do so. You can simply tag the hashtag to your content to get more eyes on your page.
