Changing TikTok locations has been a new buzz in the recent past. Many people view this platform as unreliable. Russia, India, and Pakistan have restricts app access for security reasons. Dozens of users can’t access TikTok’s content or have limited access.

Similarly, TikTok, like many other global applications, restricts what you view and who sees you based on your location. This includes both the people you can see and the people who can see you. That is fine if your region has a lot of users, but if your feed does not have a lot of talented artists, you might want to consider changing your location/region.

There are ways to alter your TikTok location safely and freely. Not just GPS spoofing can help. We recommend other options. Better, safer ones.

This post explains how to change your TikTok location using a VPN. It will also explain VPN’s benefits for TikTok and daily life. Prepare to dominate TikTok.

Use A VPN To Change Your Actual TikTok Location

One of the more common options for changing your location in TikTok is using a VPN. A Virtual Private Network lets you quickly change the location of your device. Express VPN is a popular choice, but there are other options available too.

Note: According to reports, TikTok uses your SIM Card GSM information, not your device’s spoofed IP address or region, so using a VPN may not always work.

Using a VPN to change your location can be hit or miss, but it is a great technique that usually works. You can either sign up for Express VPN or look for another option. You must also download the app. Follow the steps below if you want to try using a VPN on TikTok.

Switch Language to Change Your TikTok Region

As previously stated, TikTok is unlikely to recommend content in a language that is not native to your area. Fortunately, you can easily switch between languages within the app.

Launch TikTok and select Me in the lower right-hand corner.

Tap on the hamburger icon (three horizontal dots) in the upper right-hand corner.

Select Settings and privacy.

Scroll down to the Content & Activity section and tap Language.

Select Preferred languages and add the native language of the region you’re looking for.

Changing your TikTok language may not immediately resolve your region issue, so you may need to use the following methods to get TikTok to display the content you want to see.

Swap Your SIM card to Change Your TikTok Location

A VPN is usually the solution when someone wants to appear to be from another country. As previously stated, a VPN may not be compatible with TikTok. However, some user comments give the impression that VPNs are effective. You be the judge but make sure you don’t get results that lead you to believe it worked. If it works for you, please leave a comment with your current region and the one that worked.

Aside from VPN issues with TikTok, the app determines what you see based on the region code on your SIM card. Try buying a SIM card from a different region and inserting it into your phone. The SIM option is difficult to implement unless you have a dual SIM phone, but it is doable if you want to go that route.

Conclusion

To summarize, TikTok is an excellent platform for creating and sharing content with people all over the world. However, if you want to see more content from specific regions, you’ll need to take a few extra steps to manipulate your feed.
