Deactivation isn&#8217;t permanent, and you can restore your account anytime you want. Before deactivating your account, however, you should first make sure that you&#8217;ve deleted your account by uninstalling the app from your phone. You will be in deactivation mode for 30 days, but you can reactivate it later.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_long_does_it_take_to_deactivate_a_TikTok_account\"><\/span>How long does it take to deactivate a TikTok account?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The TikTok website offers the option to delete your account. But how do you deactivate your account? Deactivating your account is not the same as temporarily disabling it. Once you delete your account, the account is permanently deleted and cannot be reactivated. Once deactivated, you can&#8217;t access any of your videos or purchased items, but you can still view all of your shared information and chat messages.<\/p>\n<p>Deactivating your account means you&#8217;ll lose access to all of your account&#8217;s data, including uploaded videos and private messages. After 30 days, you can reactivate your account by entering your TikTok verification code and signing back into the service. However, be aware that you won&#8217;t be able to access your account again unless you wait for 30 days. If you&#8217;re unsure whether deactivating your account is worth it, try this method first to determine if it&#8217;s the best option for your situation.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve chosen to deactivate your account for a limited time, you can delete your account by following these steps. Once you&#8217;ve chosen to delete your account, you must enter a code in the app to confirm that it was deleted. Depending on your account&#8217;s settings, you may need to provide a valid email address to confirm the deletion of your account.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Restoring_a_deactivated_TikTok_account\"><\/span>Restoring a deactivated TikTok account?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve lost access to your TikTok account, don&#8217;t worry! The service offers a way to restore it within 30 days. You can even do it if you&#8217;ve taken a break from the app. To restore your account, simply follow the normal login steps. On the next screen, tap the &#8220;Reactivate your TikTok account&#8221; button. A pop-up window will appear allowing you to recover your account. You&#8217;ll then be taken back to the TikTok website where you can view deleted videos.<\/p>\n<p>In order to restore your TikTok account, you must first log into the service. You&#8217;ll need your username and password, as well as your email address. If you don&#8217;t have this information, you can use your email address or phone number to set a new password. If you have forgotten your password, you&#8217;ll need to enter your old information again. You can also click the three-line icon in the top right corner of the screen and select &#8220;Manage Account.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;ll also need to fill out an appeal form if your account was deleted without cause. TikTok will notify you if your appeal was successful. You can also contact TikTok support through email if you need further help. There are several options for you to appeal your account deletion, but only one of them is likely to work for you. Remember to have the account information handy, and you&#8217;ll be able to log in again within 30 days.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Changing_your_phone_number_before_deactivation\"><\/span>Changing your phone number before deactivation?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Many carriers have a policy for automating the deactivation of a phone number. This policy generally works on a 90-day principle. If you don&#8217;t use the phone number for 90 days, it will be deactivated and recycled. If you move permanently, you might not realize that you didn&#8217;t deactivate your phone. You can avoid this by setting up an automatic payment so that the phone line stays active. This can cause problems for both you and the carrier.<\/p>\n<p>You may not realize it, but your phone number is essentially inactive until you change service providers. The process to deactivate your number is simple: you simply call the service provider and ask them to disconnect the line. Usually, this will take a few minutes, so you should avoid worrying about your phone going unused for a few days or weeks. If you need to maintain your old phone number for a longer period of time, you can contact the former owner directly. Be aware, however, that you may have to pay a fee to the carrier.<\/p>\n<p>If you have a very long phone number, you may not realize that your previous number is available to hundreds of companies. Many of these companies buy and sell information on a regular basis. Changing your phone number before deactivation will help you stop annoying telemarketing offers and nuisance calls. You may also want to make sure that your contacts know about your new number. In some cases, it can be a tedious process, but it is worth the hassle.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe frameborder=\"0\" width=\"413\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/trc23wBDwzA\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" height=\"231\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Deactivate Your TikTok Account Temporarily If you have decided to stop using TikTok, you may want to learn how to deactivate your account temporarily.
