If you must use it, put it in your android work profile using island or similar, and run the apk through revanced first. Christ it's bad for you in every way though. Please don't use it.
Or better yet, use tiktok in your web browser. It has far fewer permissions and access to your system because of the browser sandbox and how the web is built.
That's why companies constantly push users to download the app while using the web app, because they can track users more effectively (Android's sandbox is shit and allows apps to fingerprint users very easily).
Or better yet, do not use TikTok at all.
Better yet. https://github.com/MarsHeer/offtiktok
I think it only works for following specific people though. Maybe need to self host for the whole thing it to work.
Tik tok makes it nearly impossible to use their website on mobile browser. When friends send me memes on there I usually have to switch to desktop mode and even then it's really difficult to navigate. Annoying enough that half the time I don't even bother to look if I get a tiktok link.
I don't have to, fortunately. Just decided to check if it's as bad as I thought it was (it's way worse)
Is there any instance where using TikTok would be mandatory? I would hate that line of work, my gosh.
Social media/PR work I imagine, I used to work in media pre-tiktok and having a public account on every social media was mandatory. Can't recommend jobs like that if I'm honest.
I can imagine, I would not want that job if I could choose. Luckily for me, I can.
