Hi!

I live in the Middle East, and the regions of my TikTok and Instagram accounts are set to my current country.

However, the content I plan to publish will be in English, and my target audience is in Europe and North America.

According to the algorithms, will my content mainly be shown to people in my region, or can it also be shown to users in other regions?

What has your experience been with this?

Yes, it’s possible, but the first push is often influenced by your account/location signals.

If your content is in English and gets early engagement from US/EU users, TikTok/Instagram can start pushing it to those regions. I’d focus on English content, US/EU topics, posting times, and targeted early engagement rather than only changing VPN/region.

Yes, as i reviewed Region changing methods seems temporary and can't be a solution, and current IP is the least important thing beside Sim card, Timezone, ...
Actually i tried to post a reel, the content is full English, and also all followers are bot from SMM panels (mainly their Region is India), but i got 1 organic like and that's from my own region

That makes sense then. If the account already has followers from SMM panels, especially from another region, the algorithm may have learned the wrong audience profile.

In that case I wouldn’t expect region/IP changes to solve much. I’d rather test with a clean account, no panel followers, and post only English content for a few weeks. Also interact naturally with creators/content from the audience you want to reach.
One reel is probably not enough to reset the signals. The account history and follower quality can matter a lot.

The Point is im not from India, as i check right now in my account insight (Russia 22%, Indonesia 10.8%, India 6.2%, Kazakhstan 5.7%, Argentina 5.4%)
I'm living in the MENA, none of these countries, and i never watch any content using this account, i just log in, check DM, or share something, that's all.


Edit: i checked the new content i published, Audience mostly from Reels tab, and 54% from my own country!

If i am you i wont worry too much about where the account was created because If your content is consistently in English and clearly appeals to users in Europe and North America, the platforms usually start finding the right audience over time so just stay consistent, optimize your captions and hashtags for your target market, and let the algorithm gather enough data.
 
If you want to use TikTok and display the app in a location where you don't live, you need to use an IP address from that country.
