I was stumped by the first step.

Wendy empathizes with the seller.

So, Wendy is here to answer your questions.

1. Introduction to Tiktok

Tiktok is actually the international version of Douyin.

TikTok will pose a strong challenge to established giants such as Meta .

Meta 's senior management mentioned TikTok 5 times .

TikTok has 1 billion monthly active users.

It took Facebook 8 years to complete its journey in 4 years .  

The user growth rate ranks first in the world .

TikTok , whose advertising revenue is growing at a very fast pace ,

How could Meta not be afraid?

Tiktok 's grand debut,

Wendy thought of a sentence to describe TikTok :

"I want to become stronger quietly, and then surprise everyone"

2. Download Tiktok

Because Tiktok has issued a region lock policy,

Tiktok has blocked domestic operator Sim cards .

This results in direct download being unavailable in the Chinese region.

Wendy sorted out the download method of the latest version

Please pay attention to your phone configuration before downloading .

Not all mobile phones can be downloaded and registered .

Apple phone: It is recommended to buy iPhone 7 or above, with 32G memory .

Android phone: recommended system is Android 7.0 or above, memory is 3G or above ( 4G+32G memory is recommended) ,

(Idle phones or second-hand phones need to be restored to factory settings or flashed to avoid subsequent troubles)

Scientific Internet access + remove the card + turn off positioning + change the language and time zone (Android + iOS )

Specific steps:  

1. Use the Internet scientifically

Find free or purchase scientific Internet tools

Or you can build it yourself.

Building it yourself is relatively expensive.

But the internet speed should be faster too.

2. Download Tik Tok

After going online, you can download it from Apple store or Google play .

Apple users need to register or purchase a foreign Apple ID .

If Android users cannot download using Google Play ,

You can download the apk of Tiktok .

If necessary, scan the QR code at the end of the article to get it from the administrator.

3. Remove the SIM card

Because tiktok will recognize the SIM card,

When the SIM card is found in China, the signal will be blocked.

Therefore, you must unplug the mainland mobile phone card when using it.

4. Turn off location tracking

Android phones: For different models, you can search online to find out how to turn off or modify the location of your phone .

Apple phone: Settings - Privacy - Location Services - Off. Please note that you need to turn off the advertising function .

It is possible to disguise the location.
