Why can't I delete my TikTok account?

Sometimes, TikTok will not allow you to delete your account. However, this does not mean you're stuck with the account forever. Once you resolve whatever is preventing you from closing that account, you should be able to do it with no problem.

The most common reason why many people fail to delete their TikTok account is lack of contact information. Make sure you've entered and verified your phone number or email address before attempting to close your account.

In some cases, if you're using the TikTok app, it could be that it has suffered a glitch. Just force quit the app and try again.
