How to Change Your Phone Number on TikTok

On TikTok, go to Profile › menu › Settings and privacy › Account › Account information › Phone number. Enter the new number and confirm the code.

Steps in the TikTok app

1. Open your profile and tap the menu icon at the top.
2. Tap Settings and privacy › Account.
3. Open Account information › Phone number.
4. Tap Change phone number, enter the new one, and type the code TikTok sends.

TikTok may check the old number

For security, TikTok may ask for a code sent to your current number or email before allowing the change. If the old number is gone, choose the option that says you cannot receive the code, and verify with email or your password instead.

Number already linked to another account

One number can be linked to only one TikTok account. If you see this message, sign in to the other account and remove or change its number first. If that account is not yours, the number may have belonged to someone else before; contact TikTok through Report a problem.

Code not arriving

• Check the country code shown before the number.
• Wait a minute before asking again; repeated requests are limited.
• Look in filtered or spam messages.
• Try on Wi-Fi and mobile data in turn.

Add email as a backup

Adding an email address in Account information gives you another way to sign in and recover the account, so a lost phone does not lock you out.

Two-step verification

TikTok offers two-step verification in Security. If it sends codes to your phone, update the number there too, or add an authenticator app.

Privacy and your number

TikTok may suggest your account to people who have your number saved. Turn off Suggest your account to others › Contacts in privacy settings if you do not want this.

Change number on the website

On a computer, sign in at tiktok.com, open Settings from your profile picture, and find the phone number under account settings. Not every option is shown on the website, so use the app if the field is missing.

Remove the number completely

TikTok lets you remove a number only if the account has another sign-in method, such as an email address. Add and confirm an email first, then remove the phone number.
