How to change your TikTok account region after moving

By HeyMark · Updated

If you moved and your TikTok account still lists your previous country, you can check whether TikTok offers an account region change. Before confirming, review the requirements that may apply and whether you may be able to change it back; start by looking for Account region.

Before you change it

These steps are for updating the region on your own account after a move. This is not the setting for changing your app language or For You feed preferences. Depending on your location, TikTok may require you to have been in the new country and active on TikTok, meet its minimum age requirement, settle rewards from your previous region, and use the latest app version. TikTok presents these as conditions that may apply, not a universal checklist.

Do not assume you can switch back: TikTok warns that the change may not be reversible. Terms, policies, and available features may also differ by country. Review the conditions for the country you select before confirming.

Find Account region

In the TikTok app:

  1. Tap Profile at the bottom.
  2. Tap Menu ☰ at the top, then open Settings and privacy.
  3. Tap Account, then User Information.
  4. Tap Account region and select the country or region where you live.
  5. Follow any on-screen instructions before confirming.

In a web browser, log in at TikTok.com, open your profile photo, and select Settings. Under Manage account, choose Account region and select the relevant country or region.

TikTok documents the selection, but not one final confirmation message for every account. Before leaving, check which region the setting displays and follow any confirmation shown. If the selected region does not appear, do not treat the change as complete.

If TikTok does not offer the change

The setting may depend on your location and account. Check whether TikTok asks you to be in the new country and active there, meet the local minimum age, settle LIVE or subscription rewards from your previous region, or update the app. Do not assume every condition applies in every case.

If the setting is missing or TikTok rejects the request, report the issue in the app: Profile → Menu ☰ → Settings and privacy → Help Center → Chat with us. You can also use TikTok’s online form. Include the notice text and a screenshot if the form or support team asks for one. A report requests help with the issue; it does not mean TikTok will enable or approve the change.

Check TikTok’s official help on account region before confirming, especially if you need to review the terms or features for the selected country.
