Has anyone used protonVPN to successfully redownload TikTok on IOS?

VPN

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
