Sierra Leone’s national team Leone Star striker Mohamed Buya Turay has been verified by one of the biggest social media platforms tit tok.

A verified badge means that TikTok has confirmed the account belongs to the user it represents. It appears next to a TikTok user’s account name in search results and on the profile as a visible blue check mark.
If a profile does not have the badge next to the right of their username but displays it somewhere else on their profile (such as in their bio), it’s not a verified account. Verified badges can only be applied by TikTok and will appear in the same place every time.

There are many benefits to having your social media accounts verified. First of all, the app check confirms that you are real, official, and not an impersonation. It seems as an endorsement that tells people you are credible, important, and worth paying attention to.
