Unable to Access TikTok on Android? Causes & Solutions

Unable to Access TikTok on Android? Causes & Solutions

****

If you experience issues loading, logging in, or accessing TikTok on your Android device while using Skyline VPN, the issue is likely not VPN-related. TikTok detects SIM card regions and may restrict access for mainland China phone numbers.

🚫 Why Can't You Access TikTok? ****

On Android, TikTok checks the SIM card’s region. If it detects a mainland China phone number, you may face:

App not loading or opening

Videos not playing

⚠️ This is a TikTok regional restriction, not a Skyline VPN issue.

✅ Solutions:

****

📌 Method 1: Remove the SIM Card (Android Devices Only)

1.Close the TikTok app.

2.Remove the SIM card (if it is a mainland China number).

3.Connect to an overseas VPN server (e.g., U.S., Japan, Singapore).

4.Reopen TikTok and access normally.

📌 Method 2: Use an Overseas SIM Card

For long-term access, consider using a non-mainland China SIM card (e.g., Hong Kong, U.S., Singapore).

📌 Method 3: Use TikTok on PC or iOS

iOS Devices: TikTok does not check SIM card regions, so you can access it with Skyline VPN.
PC: Visit TikTok's website via a browser and use Skyline VPN for access.
