Tiktok officially banned for me, any

Anyone get a vpn to work to access again? I mainly want to back up some data, it’s only 9:30pm so I’m not sure why it’s banned earlier than they said at midnight.

You can still log in to download the data after the ban.

just made an account with vpn in Canada, did had to change app store region and region settings to Canada, but yeah it works as of now

TikTok is linked by your SIM card region. Unless you’re able to spoof your network provider, there’s not much you can do to get around the apps region.

I don’t remember them saying it was going to be midnight when they shut it down. They said it would be shut down on the 19th. But if you keep in mind that the parent company is in China, it’s already the 19th in China and was a number of hours ago when the shut down banner began appearing on our screens. Looks like they shut it down on the 19th per their time.

I believe it’s linked by App Store region

I added this extension on desktop and was able to get on tiktok, but had to make new tiktok account since mine was made with my U.S. phone number. desktop chrome store " https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/TikTok%20unban%20-%20ban%20pass/onmpecpdikhopjbmjajcjcnfdjdmbbfd?hl=en

TikTok unban - ban pass"

Got it to work with tor browser (mobile app). You have to change the browser to the desktop version, and you will only get other countries’ tiktoks.

Look up ongoing discussions on r/revancedapp

I tried VPN on desktop, didn’t work. Tried thru Tor, still didn’t work. I’m not sure how you’re supposed to get around it

Yes, this happened very suddenly, but at least we are able to circumvent the ban with VPNs for now
I found that using SafeShell VPN allows you to use TikTok as smoothly as before, and the App Mode in it also allows you to switch to other apps quite conveniently.

or stop using that shit

Mate they have done you a favour.

Tiktok is back so you can all stop crying about a stupid app.

I live in Germany, have a German SIM and German phone number and still can’t use TikTok. Anyone have any ideas? I did start my account in the US so maybe that is why?

I moved to the uk months ago and my tiktok is getting the same error message as if im in the US. :melting_face:

Tried with a modded tiktok APK and VPN and I am able to access it, however the mod I believe is preventing me from making an account or signing in. You can’t like or comment or save anything but I can still scroll videos that slowly become more your fyp. Algorithm ig still works for non accounts or maybe that’s the mod

I am USING a Fake GPS and A VPN in Mexico. I had to create a new account using the website with a different email. It’s working fine for now.

I’m from Greece. Basically I wanted to see what the pop up message looked like so I connected to a VPN in United States, opened the app and nothing happened. After force stopping the app, I got the error.

I know it’s not helpful for US users, but something I wanted to share nonetheless.

I can tell you how I did it yesterday…

On my old cellphone that’s factory reset and has no SIM card, I created a new Google account while I was connected to a Canadian VPN. I don’t know if it was necessary but I told Google that I live at a McDonald’s in Toronto.

Next, I created a new TikTok account using the option to sign in using my new Google account. It’s a bad idea to enable location permissions on the TikTok app so I didn’t.

I can’t login to my old account because I created the account from the United States.

You don’t need a Canadian cellphone number or any cellphone number at all to make a new Google account when you create the account from a factory reset cellphone.

The only things that are bothering me about this method is that my old cellphone is slow and I don’t want to pair my earbuds back and forth between my two phones all of the time.
