How to Access TikTok & Download Your Videos

Last month, on the 29th of June, the Indian government has banned 59 Chinese apps including TikTok, UC Browser, Helo, Like, CamScanner, and many other apps. All the 59 apps have also been removed from Google Play Store to avoid fresh downloads. This step has been taken due to the ongoing tensions between Indian and China. The ban of the apps was in the interest of national security. Millions of Indian users have uploaded videos on TikTok but due to this ban, they are not able to open or download the TikTok app and recover their videos. This post shows you how you can access TikTok and download your videos.

Disclaimer: I fully support the Indian government’s decision to ban Chinese apps. The main purpose of this post is to show how someone can download their videos from their TikTok profile if they did not have a backup of their videos.

Before you proceed with any of the steps below, you will require a VPN app. Download and Install a VPN on your phone.
