One of the most popular apps that comes to mind right now is Tik Tok. Who hasn’t downloaded and used it yet? And if you are an active user, then you probably thought about how to find a certain person. This article will help you deal with the question of how to find friends on TikTok. If you are faced with such a task, then you can learn a couple of ways.
Search methods
To search, you can do several things at once. If we have certain data or if we don’t have it, we can find a way out.
No registration
If you need to get things done quickly without resorting to authorizing your own profile, we can do the following:
- Download the app on your device.
- In the bottom menu, select “Interesting“, this is the icon with a magnifying glass.
- In the search above, enter the nickname we need.
- Click on “Search“.
Using an ID
ID – exactly the same unique profile name as, for example, a nickname. It is at the very top of the profile when you go to it. Therefore, if you enter the ID in the search, the desired page will be displayed to you.
By real name
This search can be used when the person you are interested in indicates his real name in the description of his profile. If this condition is met, go to the magnifying glass and enter the first and last name (preferably this way, because there will be too many matches just by name).
By phone number
You can find your own contacts. If a phone is listed on your phone, we can do the following:
- Go to “Me” via the bottom menu.
- There are three bars in the upper right corner. Click on them.
- Go to privacy section.
- On the page that opens, we see the green button “Contacts“, we need a button next to it – “Find“. There will also be an offer to synchronize contacts with social network profiles.
- You will be asked to sync contacts, agree.
Then you will see all possible friends, namely their profiles. It’s up to you to subscribe or view content.
Friends Subscriptions
Do not forget that you can use the subscriptions of those users who are probably subscribed to the profile you are interested in. Yes, this method can take a long time if there are a lot of subscriptions. But that doesn’t make him any less successful.
Via QR code
We strongly advise you not to go far from the “Find Friends” section. There is one interesting and quick way to share your profile or find someone else’s. This method is official and open.In this section, in the upper right corner, we can notice a square with a dash inside. Let’s go there.
A camera with a frame appears. Here we can scan what has already been sent to us by clicking on the “Photo” on top, or scan it from someone else’s device. In order to provide your own code, just click on the button below with this name.
How to search for the author of the original video
Now let’s talk about what interests a lot of people – how to find the account of the video that you came across in the feed or somewhere else on other sites? Let’s use the following methods:
- If the video came across in the recommendations, go through the music record icon. As a rule, the original video will be the first in the list that appears. Go to it and check it out.
- On the Internet, Tik Tok videos will simply be downloaded, so we can look at the watermark, it is located above or below. The nickname of the author of the video is indicated there.
Via social networks
Tik Tok also offers search through social networks such as Facebook. The search button is also located in the “Find friends” tab. All we need to do is just click on it, log in with Facebook and look for those friends who have done the same.
From computer
Let’s keep in mind that TikTok is still a smartphone app, not a computer site. Although you can make a search here, however, with some difficulties. Let’s use a little trick.
Search engine
Go to any search site, such as Yandex or Google. In the search bar, enter the nickname or ID of the person, then attribute Tik Tok to the search. The query will give you several different options, among which the one you are looking for may be.
Emulator
Let’s talk about another possibility to find through a PC. Install an Android emulator, such as BlueStacks. Just go to official website of the developer and install the program on your PC.
Launch the emulator immediately after installation, enter your data or register in the Google system, then download Tik Tok in the Play Market.
In the emulator, everything is intuitive, just in front of you is a tablet in your computer. Very comfortably! You can search for users there without any problems, as if you were really sitting on your smartphone.
Problems with search
It is not always possible to make a search for one reason or another. But what can go wrong?
- the account can be deleted (the corresponding inscription will be displayed on the screen);
- privacy settings (the user could remove quick access to his account, it can only be viewed after confirming the subscription);
- failure (perhaps you should update the app, check your internet connection or clear the Tik Tok cache);
- irrelevant information (a person could change his nickname, ID in his profile, or change the cantata information in the profile description).
Summary
Tik Tok is a great platform for interesting content. You can follow your friends and acquaintances, as well as public well-known people. To do this, you can search in a variety of ways presented in the article. Remember that Tik Tok is adapted for phones, so it is much more difficult to find friends on a computer. In versions for iOS and Android, all the necessary actions are performed in a couple of clicks.
