🗑️ How to Delete Your TikTok Account (2025)

“Surprisingly normal... Unlike Meta facebook, instagram.”

Compared to the nightmarish maze that is Facebook or Instagram account deletion, TikTok — dare we say it — actually makes it relatively easy to leave.

In a world where Meta makes you dig through six menus and question your will to live, ByteDance's TikTok almost feels humane. 😂

Here's how to delete your TikTok account — both on desktop and Android — without the drama.

💻 Method 1: Delete TikTok Account on Desktop Browser

TikTok's web interface is surprisingly clean.

✅ Step 1: Go to Your TikTok Settings

Visit tiktok.com, log into your account, then click "••• More" under your profile picture (bottom left) → Settings. ⬅️ It actually has a direct link ! Click it.

📸

✅ Step 2: Navigate to “Manage Account”

In the setting page:

• The first menu item is "Manage account"
• You’ll immediately see a “Delete” button under Account control

📸

✅ Step 3: 30-Day Warning

TikTok will warn you that your account will be deactivated for 30 days before permanent deletion.

Click Continue, enter your password, and confirm.

🎉 Boom. Done. One of the easiest exits in the social media world, perhaps.

📱 Method 2: Delete TikTok Account on Android (2025)

The mobile process takes a few more taps, but still beats Meta’s mess by a mile.

✅ Step 1: Go to Your Profile

• Open the TikTok app
• Tap your profile icon (bottom right)
• Tap the ☰ menu icon (top right)

✅ Step 2: Access Settings & Privacy

• Tap “Settings and privacy”
• Tap “Account”
• Scroll down and tap “Deactivate or delete account”

📸

✅ Step 3: Choose Deletion

Select “Delete account permanently”

✅ Step 4: (Optional) Select a Reason — Or Skip It!

TikTok will ask why you want to leave.

Here’s where ByteDance earns a point:
You can just tap “Skip” in the top right corner.
👏 Unlike Meta, no forced guilt trip.

👏 Again, better than Meta. Respect.

✅ Step 5: Download Your Data (Optional)

TikTok will give you the option to:

• Download your personal data
• Review content

You can skip or proceed.

✅ Step 6: Final 30-Day Deactivation Page

This is the same as the desktop version:

• You’ll be informed your account will be deactivated for 30 days
• You have the chance to cancel deletion within that time by logging back in

✅ Step 7: Enter Your Password

Final step: enter your password to verify.

🎉 That’s it. Your account is now scheduled for deletion.

🧠 Why TikTok’s Deletion Flow Isn’t Evil (Yet)

Let’s be honest: TikTok isn’t a privacy hero, but their account deletion flow is way less predatory than Meta’s. No hidden settings. No misleading language. No impossible-to-find buttons. And hey — they even let you skip the exit survey.
