TikTok can sometimes overload you with notifications, but you are able to switch them off.
You may be getting a lot of notifications from TikTok on your phone which can be annoying or distracting, especially if you post on TikTok often. There is a way to disable these notifications, so that they don’t clog up your phone.
Here is how to disable annoying TikTok notifications.
It is easy to disable notifications from TikTok. In the app, go to your profile and follow these steps:
The settings options that TikTok offers for notifications allow you to personalize what notifications you get instead of just all or none. These options include likes, comments, direct messages, TikTok Now, and more. This makes it easy to be notified for the things you want, but not be overwhelmed by lots of notifications.
For example, if you’re not an avid user of TikTok Now, you can turn notifications for Now off, but keep the rest of your notifications for the app on. This helps you customize your experience on TikTok in a way that makes the most sense to you.
There is also a button on the bottom of the Notifications menu that says Email Notifications. Tap that button to customize the emails you get from TikTok. This allows you to control not only what notifications you get, but how you get them: whether they are phone push notifications or emails.
The best part is that you can go into your settings and change your notifications at any time on the app if you change your mind.
With fewer notifications cluttering your phone, you can more easily see and go through the ones that matter most to you. Having fewer TikTok notifications can also help you stay focused on other things like work or other activities.
