Make a patch for TikTok to work in restricted countries #2021
Comments
I think it does by IP, for that you need a vpn, but if it really is the SIM, the permission can be revoked from the TikTok app in the Android settings. Try that. |
VPN won't work in this case. About revoking permissions, there's nothing in android settings as I have searched every corner of it. It can't be done without some tinkering the system or the app. |
Isn't Android meant to opt in for permissions for apps? I can see a setting to disable access to APIs for apps on OxygenOS. |
Yeah right. That's true for some custom roms. But what about stock roms. Stock roms don't have this luxury as they are made to be luxurious. And most people don't even know what custom rom is. |
You should be able to remove those permissions on stock android. It might be called something diffrent. When u go into tiktoks settings what permissions does. it have. |

Application
TikTok
Issue
In some countries like Iran and India, access to TikTok is restricted by government. The issue is that TikTok somehow recognizes the device is in those countries and won't work even with vpn connection.
On the other hand when I remove any simcards and connect to a wifi with vpn, the application works without a problem.
In the past, I was able to use app cloner to prevent TikTok from accessing sim and cell info by hiding them, but not without some problems showing up.
Now the app won't work after cloning.
The most ironic thing is that we can access tiktok through its website with vpn connection.
I have done everything suggested by google search to resolve the issue. NONE works.
Patch
The patch should prevent the app from recognizing any of the simcard info and simcard country and/or anything related to help the app work in restricted countries
Motivation
TikTok had many users from Iran and India. It would be good news for them to again access their accounts and their content or even use the app without a problem.
