Connect a TikTok account

Connect a TikTok account, choose a privacy level for every post, and why comments, Duet and Stitch start switched off and posts cannot be deleted.

TikTok accounts connect with a TikTok sign-in on the TikTok card, with Connect Business. The account is saved as soon as you finish signing in. The option shows Needs review until TikTok has approved the app.

Posting to TikTok

TikTok sets strict rules for apps that post, and SocialApp follows them:

  • Privacy has no default. Choose who can see each post. The choices come from your TikTok account at the moment you write the post.
  • Comment, Duet and Stitch start off. Switch on the ones you want. If you turned one off in TikTok itself, it stays off.
  • The composer shows your TikTok nickname, so you can check you are posting to the right account.
  • Disclose Content marks a post that promotes your own brand (Your Brand) or a third party (Branded Content). Branded content cannot be private.

What you can post

Videos, and photo posts with a title. Captions can be up to 2,200 characters on videos and 4,000 on photo posts. Photo posts can add music automatically.

Limits

TikTok's API does not let apps delete a published post, so delete it in the TikTok app. Publishing through a reminder in a mobile app is not available, because the SocialApp mobile app does not exist yet. The TikTok analytics page shows followers, likes and video results; TikTok gives current totals only, so the history starts on the day you connect.
