In a very short time, Tik Tok has become the most downloaded app for sharing and watching short videos and has gained enormous popularity around the world. The particular feature of Tik Tok is that absolutely everyone can become popular thanks to a special algorithm of recommendations in the main feed with videos.
If you are new to TikTok, you may not know that you can fill out your profile with all sorts of information. That way your subscribers can get more information about you. You can leave some information about yourself, insert links to your social media pages, and add your phone number. Furthermore, you can always change this information. For example, you have got a new phone number.
So, here is how to change your phone number in TikTok.

If you want to change your phone number in TikTok, you need to have access to your old and new numbers.

- Then, tap on your profile icon in the bottom right corner of the screen.
- Tap on the “three dots” icon to open the “Settings and Privacy” menu.
- Select the “Phone Number” option from the list.
- After that, you should receive the four-digit code as mentioned at the beginning. Tap “Send Code” and wait for an SMS.
