How to use TikTok without the app - all info at a glance

You don't necessarily have to use TikTok via the mobile app, as the online portal for the short video clips can also be accessed via the browser. In addition to the smartphone, you can thus also call up the platform from the computer.

• Unlike in the TikTok app, you do not need a user account on the website to watch the videos of other users.
• Users who are not logged in or surf without an account, however, have to reckon with some restrictions and cannot use all the functions of the video portal.
• For example, both the comment function and the rating function are reserved for logged-in users only.
• In addition, logged-in users have access to the account settings and can adjust them.
• So if you want to use TikTok with all its features, you can not avoid creating a new user account or log in with an existing one.

Upload videos without TikTok app - is that even possible?

As in the app, you have the option to upload videos via the browser. This is especially handy if you don't record and edit your videos with your smartphone, but shoot them with a real camera, for example, and then edit and post-process them on your computer.
