This wikiHow will teach you how to send a message to someone on TikTok without having to verify your phone number first. When creating your TikTok account, the only sign-up option that requires a phone number is the "Use phone or email" option. The other options, such as Google, Facebook, and Twitter, do not require you to provide a phone number to TikTok. After creating your account, you can send messages to anyone who follows you.
Steps
-
Create a TikTok account without your phone number. If you're using a phone or tablet, download and install the TikTok app from the Google Play Store (Android) or App Store (iOS).
- Tap the Me tab in the bottom right corner if you're not immediately prompted to create an account.
- Select a non-phone-number way to create an account. You can choose to use Facebook, Google, or Twitter (as well as other regionally popular apps like KakaoTalk).
- Follow the on-screen instructions to log into that app's account (if prompted). When your account is created, you'll be directed to the FYP.
-
Send a message . As long as the person to whom you want to send a message is following you, you can send them a message. You cannot, however, message someone who isn't following you.
- If you signed up without a phone number, you won't be prompted to add one. You'll also be able to send DMs to anyone who is following you, whether or not you have their phone number in your phone's Contacts.
- You can find your DMs by tapping the Inbox tab and then the paper airplane icon in the top right corner.
