How to Bypass TikTok Block in Russia on Android, PC, and iPhone

TikTok is an app for creating and viewing short videos ranging from 15 to 60 seconds. It is developed by the Chinese company ByteDance. Within a short period, TikTok has gained worldwide popularity, especially among young users. On TikTok, you can create and edit videos, add music, filters, and effects. The platform offers an advanced content recommendation algorithm based on individual preferences, making it interesting for marketing and advertising purposes.

Unfortunately, TikTok was blocked on Android and other operating systems in Russia in March 2022. The ban comes with certain limitations. Russian users are unable to upload new content, engage in live broadcasts, and view international videos.

It is important to note that the TikTok block in Russia is not only based on the user's location but also on the country of profile registration. Therefore, the most effective solution is to register an account using a mobile number from another country. The "Tiger SMS" service can assist with this. On their website, you can purchase virtual numbers for TikTok at affordable prices. The purchasing process is quick, and the store interface is user-friendly.

How to Bypass TikTok Block Using VPN

The easiest method to recommend is using specialized services to change the user's IP address. However, bypassing the TikTok block in Russia using this method has its own peculiarities. Not all VPN services offer the necessary speed and desired data transfer volume in their free versions.

The following VPN services have proven to be the best:

• AtlasVPN

• ExpressVPN

• Surfshark

• PotatoVPN

• Vpnify

• TurboVPN, and others.

Nevertheless, full functionality can only be achieved by registering a new account with a foreign mobile number. This is the only way for Russians to use TikTok without restrictions in Russia. Let's delve into the details of how to accomplish this task.

2. Top up your account balance. The corresponding button is available in the menu, and several payment systems are supported.

3. Proceed with making a purchase. First, specify the service (in this case, TikTok). A list of countries will appear, and you need to choose any country except Russia and Belarus. The "Buy" button becomes active at the bottom. To avoid scrolling through a long list, you can use the search field.

All purchased numbers will be saved in the "Number History" section.

4. The service does not impose restrictions on purchases. This is not only necessary to bypass the TikTok block on Android or iPhone but also allows creating multiple accounts on the platform using this method.
