TikTok is one of the world’s most popular social media apps, which means your friends are likely to already be on it. Adding your contacts on TikTok can be a fast and easy way to start following more of your friends.
In this article, we will go over how to find contacts on TikTok so that you can provide TikTok access to your contacts list, and then see who in your contacts list is on TikTok.
The process is very simple, so let’s get right into it.
How to Find Contacts on TikTok From Your Contact List
To help TikTok identify who on your contacts list is on TikTok, take the following steps:
- Open the TikTok app
- Head to your profile and tap on the Add Friends icon
- Tap on Find beside the Contacts option
- Allow TikTok to to see your phone’s contact list
- Start following all of your friends who are on TikTok from your contacts list
You should be able to add everyone from your device’s contacts list who has a TikTok account.
How to Find Contacts on TikTok From Facebook
Besides finding your friends who are on TikTok from your phone’s contact list, you can also add them from your Facebook friends list.
Note: To find contacts on TikTok from Facebook, you will need to give the app permission to access your Facebook account to see your friends.
To start, do the following:
- Open the TikTop app
- Tap on Profile at the bottom of your screen
- Tap on Menu
- Tap on Settings and privacy
- Tap on Privacy
- Tap on Sync contacts and Facebook friends
- Enable Sync Facebook friends
- Leave the privacy settings and tap on the Friends icon at the bottom of the screen
- Tap the profile icon with a + sign in the top-left corner
Note: You will be asked by TikTok to link your Facebook account and log into it with your credentials. If you have the Facebook app on your device, you will notice a pop-up asking you to sync your Facebook friends list.
How to Remove Contacts on TikTok
You may find that there comes a time where you want to remove the link between your TikTok and your contacts list and Facebook. To do this, take the following steps:
- Head to your profile and tap on the Privacy option from the menu
- Tap on Sync Contacts and Facebook Friends and disable it
That’s all there is to it. You now no longer have TikTok synced with your phone’s contact list or Facebook account.
Note: Anyone who is already following you will still stay as a follower on your TikTok account. However, anyone you are not following will be removed from within the app from your display.
Conclusion
Now that you know how to find friends from your phone’s contacts list and Facebook friends lists, you can start following more of your friends on Tiktok.
