The purpose of this study was to determine the use and impact of TikTok on the religious character of students at MIN 17 Central Aceh. The study used a qualitative narrative method. This study took place at MIN 17 Central Aceh. Data were collected using interview and observation techniques. Primary research data were obtained from interviews with the principal, teachers, students, and parents. Secondary data were obtained from documentation and literature review. The collected data were analyzed through data reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results illustrate that TikTok use impacts students' interactions, worship, and communication. Most students experienced a decline in prayer habits due to distraction and refusal to be stopped while using TikTok. Excessive use of TikTok can lead to a lack of religious understanding. Some students begin to accept various religious concepts in a casual manner from short videos, resulting in shallow understanding. Extra monitoring is needed to ensure that TikTok continues to have a positive impact and fosters students' deep and authentic religious attitudes. So the research presented requires a balance that has a positive impact when students use social media applications in the form of TikTok
