How to Check Connected Apps on TikTok

Introduction

In today’s article, we’ll guide you through the simple and straightforward process of checking connected apps on TikTok. Ensuring your app is up to date is crucial for smooth functionality, so let’s dive into the steps.

Step 1: Update Your TikTok App

Before you begin, confirm that your TikTok app is updated to the latest version. If it isn't, follow these steps:

Open the Play Store (for Android users) or Apple Store (for iOS users).
Search for TikTok.
If an update is available, tap the update button to install the latest version.

A current version of TikTok is essential for the features and services to function properly.

Step 2: Access Your Profile

Once your app is updated, launch the TikTok application.

Look for the profile icon located at the bottom right corner of the screen and tap on it to navigate to your profile.

Step 3: Open Settings

Next, tap on the three horizontal lines (also known as the hamburger menu) located in the top right corner to access more options.

Select Settings and Privacy from the dropdown menu.

Step 4: Navigate to Security and Permissions

In the Settings and Privacy menu, you will see a few options.

Tap on Security and Permissions.
Within this section, locate the Apps and Services Permission option, which is the second to last.

Step 5: Check Connected Apps

When you tap on Apps and Services Permission, you’ll see the message indicating whether any apps have been authorized to access your TikTok data.

If it says "No apps authorized yet," this means that you haven’t granted access to any external application, which is a good privacy benchmark.

If you have logged in to any apps using your TikTok account, those apps would have access to your TikTok data. But in this case, since there are no authorized apps, your data remains secure.

This process gives you clarity on which, if any, external apps have access to your TikTok account.
