Tiktok, the ultimate version of entertaining yourself for hours and not to mention the amount of energy and internet usage that is at the stake.

The Chinese app that has been attracting the youth like flies to the light, literally.

According to their official dev team, this app has over 2 billion active users and that number is still growing, so the chances are some of your friends are active on this platform.

But how do we find them? There are multiple ways for finding them out like asking for id and searching them up, using the code, using the digital address and at last but not least, by their phone number which has proven to be the easiest way.

How to find them with their phone number

To be said, there are two ways in order to achieve that goal;

  1. The regular, official and legal type of way that is assured by the company itself and is not creepy at all.
  2.  And there is the off road way which involves third party applications which most obviously is not approved by tiktok.

The first method in searched and done within the app itself but the second one requires downloading one or two applications which their names will be provided further in this article.

Note:  remember that tiktok values their users’ privacy and security therefore they will not share any information that is not verified by the users and ultimately they cannot be fined with their phone number.

Finding contacts within tiktok app

For this matter and method you will have to give permissions to app regarding accessing your contact list and their information.

Please keep in mind that the app won’t let you use this feature unless you do give required permissions, so there is no dodging that.

In order to do, you will have to follow this guide:

  1. Open up tiktok and sign in if you must.
  2. In the profile page, tap on the menu.
  3. Select setting and privacy and enter.
  4. Select and click on account.
  5. Select and click on privacy.
  6. Scroll and find “sync contacts and Facebook friends”.
  7. Find and enable the “sync contacts” by toggling it on.

In this 7 step guide you have given the required permission to tiktok for accessing and syncing your contacts that is essential for continuing the way.

Now to the finding them with their phone number, in order to do so you shall follow the upcoming steps:

  1. Go to tiktok app and sign in if you must
  2. Head to the profile page at the very first item in the shape of a person
  3. At top left of the page, click on plus icon(+) and enter the following page
  4. The opened page is called “find friends” and is written at the top, the second item will be “contacts”, click on it

Here you can see your contacts which were synced earlier, the ones that have FOLLOW button are the ones that have tiktok installed, and the ones whom have INVITE button are the ones that do not have any tiktok on their phone.

So you can choose from those who have the account.

  1. Click on the person or persons that you want to communicate with.  Remember those are the ones that have the FOLLOW button.

Those are the steps for legit and official way of finding people on tiktok with their phone number, but as it happens, sometimes, you cannot find someone by their number.
