TikTok is one of the most popular social networks these days. Every day more users are joining this platform. Some of them even create a second profile to separate business and personal matters. This is possible because TikTok does not prevent users from creating multiple channels. In this article, you will get a complete guide on how to make a second Tik Tok account and why you need it.
Why create a second account
There are many reasons why people choose to create multiple channels on TikTok. For example, creating a second account helps you better manage your business and personal affairs. If you’re a content creator, you might have a business account and a personal profile with different sets of followers and audiences.
For ordinary users, having a second profile will help them change interests and view different types of content. They can use one profile for funny videos and another for informative ones, etc.
How to create a second channel
The good news for people looking to create a second TikTok channel is that there are two ways to do it.
First Method
- Exit the first channel. To do this, click on the profile icon at the bottom of your TikTok page.
- At the top you will see three dots that you will need to click on.
- Select privacy and settings, and then click the sign out option.
- After logging out, you will be redirected to the registration page.
- Select a registration method.
Once you have entered all the required information, you can use your second account. Sign in with your new channel information.
Second Method
If you do not want to suffer from logging out, then there is another easy way for you.
- Log in to TikTok (your first account).
- Click your profile icon in the bottom right corner of your TikTok home screen.
- Click on your channel name.
- Click on the plus sign to add a new account.
- Go through the standard registration process. See instructions in the previous section.
How to login to other TikTok accounts
As a result, you have created a second profile, but how do you use it when the first one is connected? It’s very easy to use multiple accounts at the same time, just follow these steps:
- Launch TikTok on your device.
- Click “Me” (Profile).
- Tap your profile name at the top of the screen.
- A menu will appear with all your accounts. Select the channel you want to join.
When you can’t switch accounts
When you perform any upload-related action in one channel, such as uploading a new video, inserting a comment under a post, or downloading a video from the platform, you will not be able to immediately switch to another channel.
Before you can change your profile, you’ll have to wait for your video, comment, or whatever you’re doing to finish uploading.
Automatic switching to another account is not possible
Let’s say you have three channels on the same device: account 1, 2 and 3.
If you are logged into Account 1 and receive a notification, such as a new comment from Account 2, by clicking on the notification, you will not be able to view the comment directly because TikTok, unlike Instagram, does not automatically switch from one profile to another to display notification.
To overcome this, you will need to click on the notification and manually change accounts after logging into the app.
