How To Make a TikTok Account Without Using Email or Phone Number

If you don’t want to give TikTok your email or phone number, you can create an account via your social media accounts, including:

• Facebook
• Google
• Apple
• Twitter

When signing up with a social media account from a device where you’re already logged into that account, all you’ll have to do is confirm that you want to create a TikTok account. 

If not, you’ll first have to log into your social media account before you can sign up on TikTok.

Things To Keep In Mind

Having multiple TikTok accounts can be a great way to expand your brand, boost your business’ growth on TikTok, or start something different from scratch.  

However, there are some things you, as a creator, should be wary of before you add a second TikTok account to your device.

One of the most important things that can immensely affect your TikTok presence is your account’s authority ranking. This essentially is TikTok’s way of answering the question: ‘How much of an influencer are you on the app?’

Having multiple accounts on a single device can flag you as a business and like many platforms, TikTok will likely de-prioritise your account to prompt you to pay for ads to grow. This means that you’ll get less exposure, which translates to fewer views, less engagement, and ultimately, less growth.

Pro tip: If any of your accounts are getting around 100 views per video, then it’s likely that your authority ranking is low and you should consider starting again. 

Bottom Line 

Any TikTok user, whether they’re a creator or a business, or use the app for entertainment purposes only, can create and add up to three accounts per device. TikTok allows users to create a second and third account with a different email or a phone number or they can sign up on the app via one of their social media accounts.
