Whether you want to create content that doesn’t quite fit with your main TikTok account, or you want an account that is more closely associated with your business, the choice is ultimately yours.
This article will cover how to create a second TikTok account, how to connect your two accounts, as well as the restrictions and benefits of having multiple accounts.
Creating a Second TikTok Account
TikTok makes it very easy for users to create and swap between accounts right in the TikTok app. This step-by-step process will help you create multiple TikTok accounts that are connected.
STEP 1
Open the TikTok app and tap Profile in the bottom right corner
STEP 2
Tap the Three Lines icon in the top right corner
STEP 3
Scroll to the bottom of the menu and tap Switch account
STEP 4
Tap Add Account in the menu that pops up
STEP 5
Tap Use phone or email in the menu
STEP 6
Input your birthday and tap Next
STEP 7
Input the phone number or email you would like to use for your TikTok account (you can choose between the phone number and email via the option at the top of the screen)
STEP 8
Create a password and tap Next
STEP 9
Create a new username and tap Sign up
Now your new account and your existing account are linked together. You will now see both accounts in the switch accounts tab. You can repeat this process with other TikTok accounts.
To add multiple accounts, simply repeat this process by going to Switch Account and creating another new profile.
In the switch account tab, you will be about to easily switch to your other account. Any more accounts you add will be available here if you link them using the add account function.
New TikTok Account Restrictions
Creating a new account will require a different email address than your existing account.
An additional account cannot use the same phone number or account name as an existing TikTok account.
Your new TikTok account will not have the same followers, followed, or preferences. If you want to change or set your preferences in your new account, you can do so in the TikTok profile page.
You will not be able to log in to two TikTok accounts on the same device at the same time.
You are able to sign in to a second account on multiple devices.
Why Create Multiple TikTok Accounts?
As mentioned above, creating multiple accounts can be beneficial for a number of reasons.
Sometimes you will see creators add multiple accounts to produce different content that would not fit on their main account. A second account can be used as a more personal space for daily vlog posts for example.
Many users like to separate their business account and their social media account. To change an account to a business account:
STEP 1
Tap Profile
STEP 2
Tap the Three Lines Icon
STEP 3
Tap Manage account
STEP 4
Tap Switch to Business Account
STEP 5
Follow the steps to help TikTok identify your business’ brand
