Has anyone used protonVPN to successfully redownload TikTok on IOS?

I still have the app on both of my devices, however a friend of mine deleted it and I am trying to help her find a way to get it back. If anyone else has deleted the app and is willing to try redownloading it on iOS using ProtonVPN here are the steps that I believe would theoretically work.

  1. Swipe from the very bottom of your iPhone to view open applications

  2. Close the App Store (or at least make sure it isn’t open)

  3. Go to settings → privacy and security → location services → find “App Store” in the list of your applications and set “ALLOW LOCATION ACCESS” to Never.

  4. Open the App Store → Download ProtonVPN (Or another Free VPN service that has servers outside of the United States)

  5. Start VPN service → After connected it should automatically direct you to the “Status” page in the app.

  6. From the Status page in the app press the “Change Server” button until it connects you to a server outside the united states.

  7. Go to https://www.tiktok.com/download/en or

Download the app from the App Store with the VPN connected and location access set to Never

I just had to come back and say this worked and I’m so happy :sob::sob::sob:

Please let me know if it work

noooo :confused: it keeps saying not available in my region :sob:

Did you change your App Store country. TikTok will show up that way. Might just need a vpn after that

TURN LOACTION SERVICES OFF ON YOUR PHONE , before that i even changed my phones region to canada too! im on a tokyo vpn and canada app store

wait wait it worked ?? what else did u do besides turning location services off

How did you get a Canada app store

Can you do it without a VPN?

So i turned my location services off in settings! so everything even find my iphone is off, i am using the proton vpn, i refreshed until i got to a server not in the USA (tokyo japan) and rn my app store is set to Canada and my phone region is set to Canada as well

once i turned location services off on my whole phone was when i saw it start downloading :sob:

How did you change App Store location?

Did you have to pay to get on a server in a diff country… when I select change server it just keeps connecting to different cities in the US

after i download tiktok will it be fine to turn location services back on?

press the little profile circle thing top right app store and go to account settings you will see country/region

no i just kept doing until i got another but it was 2 refreshes

didn’t do that yet tbh
