Tik Tok is known for its short videos and handy recommendation feed. A huge number of users daily views, likes, comments and subscribes to thousands of other users. All this requires a personal page. But some may not need it. In this article, we will talk about how to delete a Tik Tok account.
Step by step
Let’s start with how to do it from the official mobile app. Everything is quite simple, follow the instructions:
- Go to our profile, it is located under the “Me” button in the lower menu on the right.
- We need the upper right corner, or rather three parallel lines, that is, the application settings.
- Go to “Account Management“.
We will open a new page. The required button is at the very bottom of the page.
We are offered information, click on “Continue“.
From PC
To delete a page through a computer, you don’t even have to do anything special. Hover over your profile avatar in the upper right corner and go to “Settings“.
This is where you can delete it.
Deletion conditions
All your clips will be deleted completely without the possibility of recovery (as well as drafts).
Money that has ever been spent from this page will not be returned.
Private account
If deletion is important to you, you can do so, but there is another option:
- To do this, we delete all subscribers in our profile and unsubscribe ourselves (if necessary).
- We can change nickname, avatar and everything else.
- Then go to “Settings“.
- We need “Privacy” item.
- This is where we can set the slider next to the private account to the active state.
Technically the page is not going anywhere, all the chats, videos, all other information will remain, but it will be hidden from any people that you do not give access to.
Delete errors
No one is immune from errors and lags.Even Tik Tok itself. If it happens that you are not able to delete, for example, you click and nothing happens, you can proceed as follows:
- reconnect to internet connection (errors are possible due to long data transfer);
- restart Tik Tok (reload page if on PC);
- clear app cache;
- check for all updates.
If none of these steps help, you should contact technical support:
- Go to “Settings” via your profile and then scroll to “Report a problem“.
- Go to “Account and Profile“.
- “Account Management“.
- “Deleting an account“.
Now we can read what TT offers us. Then we choose whether everything is clear to us. If you still have questions, then click on “No”, and then on “Need more help”.
Here we can describe the problem in detail, attaching all the necessary screenshots, and then wait for a response.
How to delete someone else’s profile
Some people actually ask this question. But no one will be able to do this, except for the owner of the account. You do not have access to it, and, accordingly, there are no rights.
Summary
Despite the fact that Tik Tok is one of the fastest growing and most popular applications at the moment, and almost every one of us has a page there, sometimes the decision comes to delete everything. It is quite simple to do this through the settings of the application itself or through the site from a computer. Remember that the action is irrevocable. It makes no sense to contact support after that, they will no longer be able to help you.
