And how do you unblock it? In this article, we&#8217;ll cover how to unblock TikTok and explain why you may want to unblock it. Read on to learn more! Here&#8217;s why TikTok is banned in India and how you can use a VPN to access the app. Also, learn how to unblock TikTok in your country and deactivate it if you&#8217;re banned in the country.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"VPNs_allow_you_to_access_TikTok_in_India\"><\/span>VPNs allow you to access TikTok in India<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve recently moved to India, you might be wondering if it&#8217;s possible to use TikTok in the country. In addition to 58 other Chinese applications, TikTok has been banned in India by internet service providers, which means you won&#8217;t be able to access it from the ISP. But a VPN service might be your answer! VPN services work by changing your location to one in another country. You can choose the server that&#8217;s closest to where you actually are.<\/p>\n<p>The Chinese government has been looking at blocking the popular video sharing app, as well. However, it&#8217;s unlikely that other governments will take the same step. While the government of China is concerned about user privacy and security, VPN use is unlikely to be illegal in that country. While the Chinese government shares your data with its regime, this is not the case with India. VPNs allow you to access TikTok in India without any issues.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Unblocking_TikTok_requires_a_VPN\"><\/span>Unblocking TikTok requires a VPN<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There are many reasons why you should use a VPN to unblock TikTok in India, and one of those is to ensure privacy. Since the site is owned by the Chinese government, you may not be able to access TikTok in your country unless you are logged in as a Chinese citizen. A VPN will help you stay anonymous online by masking your IP address and location, and it can even provide you with encryption so that nobody can spy on you.<\/p>\n<p>It is important to choose a high-quality VPN service to ensure your privacy. While some VPN services promise a high-speed connection, others can be too slow to provide stable service. A reliable VPN should offer fast servers in different regions, as slow connections can cause problems with playback on sites like TikTok. Other features to look for include zero-logging, a kill switch, strong encryption protocols, DNS leak protection, and multiple platforms support.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_is_TikTok_banned_in_India\"><\/span>Why is TikTok banned in India?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The government of India has banned the Chinese-owned app, along with 58 other popular apps, from India in June 2020. There are a variety of reasons for the ban, but one that seems most obvious is that it raises security concerns. While TikTok is banned in India, it could still make its way back. Recently, the parent company of the app filed a trademark application for the name &#8220;TickTock.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The ban comes two weeks after a deadly border dispute between the two countries. The government is concerned with the proliferation of illegal content on the site, which has attempted to moderate millions of videos. The ban was triggered by clashes in mid-June between India and China over decades-old border disputes. After the June clashes, the Indian government removed 59 Chinese-made apps from the Google Play Store and App Store. Soon after, another 60 were blocked. The ban also included many variations of TikTok, such as TikTok Lite.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_deactivate_your_account\"><\/span>How to deactivate your account<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you are in India, you might be wondering how to deactivate your TikTok accounts. There are many ways to do this, but the most important one is to delete your account completely. While you can still delete your videos and chat messages, you won&#8217;t be able to log in to the app. Once you have deleted your account, you&#8217;ll no longer be able to make purchases or receive refunds.<\/p>\n<p>To deactivate your account, first, make sure that you have a verified phone number. If you do not, you&#8217;ll be prompted to provide this information when you delete your account. If you&#8217;ve used Facebook to register for TikTok before, you can open up the Facebook app on your phone. Then, tap Settings, and then select Logged In With Facebook. You can then close the Facebook app and the Twitter app.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe frameborder=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ftCw-c-j7m8\" width=\"500\" height=\"280\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Why is TikTok Banned in India?
