YOGYAKARTA - Many users of the short video platform TikTok use a phone number when registering a new account. This can have an impact on the user's account if the number used to register in the future is blocked or can no longer be used.

The phone number is used to verify your account when you sign in to the TikTok app on a new device. Therefore, if your number is no longer active, the process cannot be carried out.

However, you don't need to worry because there are other ways to verify besides using a phone number, namely with an email address. To do so, users need to register an email address that will be used for verification to your TikTok account.

Therefore, before you log out of your TikTok account on the old device, make sure you have added an email address that can be used to verify your account so you don't have problems in the future.

If you wish to do so, below the VOI team has put together the steps you can take to add an email address as a method you can use to verify your TikTok account.
