TikTok Tips & Tricks

When you want to view TikTok content without revealing your identity, use TikTok Viewer instead of the official app:

• No login required to view profiles and videos
• Your views aren't tracked or added to view counts
• Creators can't see that you viewed their content
• Your data isn't used for TikTok's algorithm

If you use the official TikTok app, take these steps to enhance privacy:

• Set your account to private if you post content
• Disable "Suggest your account to others"

Control what information is available about you:

• Use a username that doesn't identify you personally
• Be careful what personal information you share in videos

TikTok collects substantial data, but you can limit it:
