This is a problem that I was not able to locate a resolution to. TikTok is a service that you must log into using a phone number, and then create an account with an email address. The shutdown process does not seem to exist, so I am unsure how to remove my number from the app. Furthermore, even if I did want to stop using it, it would be difficult because of the centrality of numbers in terms of access and logging in.
TikTok is a social media application that hosts short videos and lets users create and share their own videos. The app is well-known for its lip syncing challenges and creator contests, such as the “10K/10K” TikTok challenge. It is easy to log in using your phone number, but if you don’t have an old number anymore, you can’t log in with it.
The sources I’ve consulted all agree that users can contact TikTok to remove their phone number from the service, but the process of doing so is not always straightforward. When a user wants to delete their phone number from TikTok, they must first find and click on the “Settings” button on the app and then scroll down and select “Privacy” before scrolling up to select “Remove Phone Number.
It is possible to have 2 TikTok accounts with the same phone number, but it will be difficult to get both of them verified. Most social media management firms will verify an account if they think that there is a high chance of success for marketing purposes. It’s easier to get one account verified than two accounts, so usually people usually have one Insta and one TikTok account.
