HTTP or Socks5 for mobile apps?

I am currently building a bot for TikTok where I will be working with multiple accounts in the app. There is no desktop or browser version of this app.

If I wanted to use the HTTP proxy protocol (with residential rotating IPs) for Tiktok, would that get flagged?

Am I reading correctly that Socks can be used in mobile apps but HTTP will show the Tiktok AI that I'm NOT a mobile user?

Thanks for the help!

Based on proxy usage, I don't think it will get flagged (I never used TikTok, but I am taking other social media apps as example).

You don't know exactly. Maybe the whole app is a simple wrapper around html and uses a regular web server, in which case HTTP would be the default protocol.

You can use wireshark and analyze the traffic of TikTok to try to understand how the app communicates with its server.

Thanks for the help! What are examples of other mobile social media apps that work that way you described? "With a simple wrapper around html and uses a regular web server"?
