Understanding the Deactivation and Deletion Process

Before diving into the steps, it’s important to understand the difference between deactivating and permanently deleting your TikTok account. Unfortunately, TikTok does not offer a temporary deactivation option like some platforms. Once you begin the deletion process, your account will be disabled for a 30-day grace period, during which you can change your mind. After 30 days, your account and its data will be permanently deleted.
