> How to set up a US TikTok account

The US is TikTok's biggest and highest-converting audience. Getting your account read as US-based puts your content in front of them and boosts your growth. Here is how to set it up.

1. 001

   Put in a US SIM card

   Buy a cheap one on Amazon. No need to activate it. TikTok just needs to see a US SIM in the phone.

2. 002

   Factory reset your iPhone

   Settings → General → Transfer or Reset iPhone → Erase All Content and Settings.

3. 003

   Set the phone up as US

   During the iPhone setup, pick United States and decline Location Services. Create a new Apple account.

4. 004

   Install a VPN

   We recommend NordVPN, but any of them works. Set it to New York and turn on auto-connect.

5. 005

   Install TikTok

   Sign up with email only. Decline any popups that ask you to use your phone number.

Now warm up the account before you start posting.
