TikTok has rapidly ascended the ranks to become a dominant force in the social media landscape. One particularly useful feature of the platform is the ability to locate users through their associated phone numbers. In this article, we’ll meticulously guide you through this process.
Introduction
TikTok, in its quest to provide an engaging user experience, allows you to connect with individuals on the platform using their phone numbers. You can locate and follow them with ease if their account is connected to a certain phone number on your device.
Getting Started
To kick off this process, navigate to your TikTok profile page. This is your personalized corner on TikTok where you can view and manage your content and connections.
Locating the User Icon
On your profile page, look towards the top left corner. An symbol with a plus sign that resembles a user silhouette will be easy to recognise. This is your gateway to expanding your TikTok network.
Inviting Friends and Finding Contacts
Upon clicking this icon, you’ll be presented with several options. Here, you can choose to invite friends, locate contacts, or even connect with Facebook friends. By selecting ‘Find Contacts’, you’re initiating the process of linking with individuals in your device’s contact list who also have a TikTok account.
Granting Access to Your Contact List
For this feature to function, TikTok requires access to your phone’s contact list. Once you grant this permission, a list of your contacts will appear. This integration allows TikTok to cross-check the phone numbers in your contact list with those registered on its platform.
Understanding the Follow Button
If any of your contacts have a TikTok account tied to their phone number, you’ll notice a ‘Follow’ button appearing next to their profile. By clicking this button, you can effortlessly start following their TikTok activities.
Comprehending the Invite Button
On the other hand, if you see an ‘Invite’ button next to a contact’s profile, it signifies that they don’t have their phone number linked with a TikTok account. However, they might be TikTok users who’ve set up their account using a different method.
Email Address Linked Accounts
Note that the ‘Invite’ button doesn’t necessarily mean that a contact doesn’t have a TikTok account. They may have an account set up using their email address instead of a phone number. In such cases, you won’t be able to find them using this method.
Final Thoughts
Using their phone number to find people on TikTok is a helpful feature that helps you stay in touch with your contacts. Remember to respect privacy and only follow individuals you know or those who’ve given you permission. Happy TikToking!
