TikTok allows users to sync their device’s contact list with the TikTok mobile application in order to find any of their contacts who also use the video-sharing platform. After a user syncs their contacts with the TikTok app, their contacts will be synced again periodically to keep them up to date going forward.
If users ever decide to turn this feature off, TikTok will stop syncing their contacts with the app. However, any contacts that were previously synced will remain. Users have the ability to remove their previously synced contacts from the TikTok app if they’d like.
Our guide will show you how to remove your synced contacts from the TikTok app.
