Deactivate your account

Deactivating your TikTok account allows you to put it on a temporary hold. When you're ready to get back on TikTok, you can reactivate it anytime.

To deactivate your TikTok account:
1. In the TikTok app, tap Profile at the bottom.
2. Tap the Menu ☰ button at the top.
3. Tap Settings and privacy.
4. Tap Account, then tap Deactivate or delete account.
5. Tap Deactivate account and follow the instructions to deactivate your account.

If you deactivate your TikTok account:
•  You won't have access to your account, but we'll keep your data so you can recover it if you choose to reactivate your account.
•  Direct messages you previously sent to others may remain visible to them.
•  Duets or Stitches associated with your videos may still be visible to others.
•  No one will see your content or profile.

To reactivate your TikTok account: 
1. Log into your account with the same login credentials you previously used.
2. Tap Reactivate to recover your account.

Alternatively, you can also permanently delete your account.

If you require other account assistance on TikTok, please submit a report.
