How To Hide TikTok Account From Contacts (Full Tutorial)

Introduction

If you're looking to keep your TikTok account private and hidden from your contacts, you’re in the right place! This guide will walk you through the steps to secure your TikTok account by adjusting specific settings.

Step 1: Navigate to Your Profile

  1. Open the TikTok app on your device.
  2. Tap on the Profile icon located at the bottom right corner of your screen.

Step 2: Access Settings

  1. Once you’re on your profile page, look for the three horizontal lines (or the hamburger icon) at the top right corner of your screen.
  2. Click on it to open the menu.
  3. Select Settings and privacy from the dropdown options.

Step 3: Change Privacy Settings

  1. In the Settings menu, click on the Privacy option at the top.
  2. You will see an option labeled Private account. Toggle this option to on.
    • By enabling a private account, your account will only be visible to your approved followers, ensuring that your content is not discoverable by the general public.

Step 4: Sync Contacts Setting

  1. While still in the Privacy section, look for Sync contacts and Facebook.
  2. Tap on it, and you’ll see an option for Sync contacts.
  3. Make sure this setting is off.
    • Keeping this setting off will prevent TikTok from suggesting your account to people who have your phone number saved in their contacts. This further protects your privacy.

By following these steps, you can effectively hide your TikTok account from your contacts and maintain your online privacy.

Keeping your TikTok account hidden from your contacts is easy once you know the right settings to adjust. With a private account and contact syncing turned off, you can enjoy using TikTok without worrying about who can find you on the platform.
