TikTok USA - please don’t open another thread

[zotix]

Hello dear community,

I’m currently really struggling to target US audience on TikTok from Germany.
A good friend of mine is Model (please do not DM me because of that), and would like to target US audience. As most of us know, there is a broader audience, especially for OF and all the things around that.
She told me that some agencies of her „friends“ sent them a prepared iPhone, set up as US device - they just need to connect to their WIFI and start posting on TikTok.

I guess those iPhones are jailbroken, set up with an Apple ID from US and [….._]
I know that there is no way without a physical sim to achieve that.
I’m also aware that we have some people providing kind of Ebooks etc about that - good for them, well deserved.

But nevertheless. I’m just looking for your experience, how do you manage to reach FULL US audience - now that partially.

It drives me nuts to get it done.

What I already tried: with E sim, without any success. I mean, I had no signal, but as far as I know this shouldn’t be a dealbreaker.
I have here a Xiaomi redmi 9 note pro
Already unlocked - last step is missing, to load with magisk some firmware on it.

Otherwise, I have no idea - searched through many threads, but did not found the right solution.

That's why I opened this thread here, to ask:
How can I finally prepare a phone correctly?

Many thanks in advance

Ok, so you tried e-sim, but did you try a physical US simcard? Go to any place that sells a simcard that is from a US service provider and then insert that in the phone. I don’t think you need to be connected to the sell tower, just having it in the phone will get you in the US foryoupage. The only thing I need someone to answer is if inserting the US simcard works in any country. For example, if your in Germany, would inserting a US simcard still work?

Hey Thanks for your answer. Once, there was a thread where someone named 2 E-Sim Providers. I tried both of them—no connection. But then someone said, as you are saying, that this is not that important. Just connect with WIFI and activate "SIM support or something like that."
Ive not tried with physical SIM so far. Are there differences between the providers?

Im from Germany, so the phones still have the SIM card slot, besides some US-Phones.

I'm still reading here, but it's always the same approach: Factory Reset, New SIM, new TikTok with new Gmail, Warming up, posting after 1 Week, slowly. Furthermore, I engage slowly with the US audience I want to target.

That's what I understood, but people are still struggling.
And I do not understand what it has to do with Jailbroken iPhone.
Do I need to download another Tiktok Version and change the Hardware ID?

It doesn’t have anything to do with jailbreak. I mean it possibly could, but the main thing is the physical simcard. Simcards are chips that can connect to sell towers and receive SMS messages even when there is no plan attached to it. You can try it for your self. Manage to get a US simcard, put it in your phone and then see if that works.

 

[zotix]

Any recommendations for the SIM provider?
Otherwise, I could also try—not done so far—using an AD browser and 4G Proxy to see if this helps to warm up the account.
Thanks!

I know that there is no way without a physical sim to achieve that.
I’m also aware that we have some people providing kind of Ebooks etc about that - good for them, well deserved.

So you want to get info for free, without investing in that and screw the info - TikTok is also reading that.

"She told me that some agencies of her „friends“ sent them a prepared iPhone, set up as US device - they just need to connect to their WIFI and start posting on TikTok." - maybe agencies don't want to screw set up by model?

"I guess those iPhones are jailbroken, set up with an Apple ID from US and [….._]" - iPhones are not jailbroken, but Apple ID from the US is good part, but only part

"I know that there is no way without a physical sim to achieve that." - physical sim is needed

"I’m also aware that we have some people providing kind of Ebooks etc about that - good for them, well deserved." - good it's hidden, if we post info here then TikTok know it and start fight with that. I am sure, they will read that thread

I can tell you what is working in limited time, you can open 5-6 accounts / phone - is original USA T-Mobile, forget about Lyca Mobile or eSIM. But this they cannot block, so I can tell about it in public. Next accounts on that SIM will have zero views.

Also it's not such simple overal like put usa sim card xD
Configuration is more complex and non tech model can make mistake somewhere.


Xiaomi 9 will not work, there is something on these devices revealing everything.
Thats why we are using iPhones. On Android 60%-70% devices are working but system fragmentation, number of builds, producents, loopholes make it very random.
I always advice my people to use iPhone, because set up is consisent. Of course, some Android devices are working like Pixel 6A, but people are coming to me with weird Chinese phones and asking if that is working. I cannot tell, because it's impossible to check them all. Some of devices are working like my Xiaomi Redmi 9T, but different guy with farm of these Xiaomis screwed whole farm with spam. We tried to do everything, but something is revealing these devices and no matter what we cannot make them work.
We have some Samsung users, here even hard spam is working. But I cannot be sure, something is working on Samsung S20 will work on Samsung S21. I cannot buy them all.
We are also using iPhone because more strict system security than Android. Apps can do less here

I much appreciated the information you "revealed" without telling too much.
It's at the end; as I read here, people probably target the US, but not "fully."
There is much more behind that.
And I can tell you that this friend of mine told me that OF agencies, etc., sent prepared phones with SIM cards, primarily iPhones, to the models, and they don't face any issues.
And I guess you know since you are from Europe as well—and in your Country, there are many beautiful (potential) OF-Models who might use US-TikTok.
So there is still this little Magic, which is why people buy iPhone 8 / iPhone X since they are the latest ones to jailbreak with Palad1n.
Nevertheless, I guess I will end up as your customer, of course. if you accept me, after our little conflict

Kind regards,

I gave you for free the right direction.
1. Buy iPhone 7+, don't use Android
2. Buy physical USA sim card on Amazon for example, t-mobile or something they are selling there. Avoid lycamobile and esim, it's overused in TikTok and they know
3. Make a fresh Apple ID
This will work in limited number of accounts, 5-6 I think, then 0 views.
Other info I just cannot share, because weeks and months of testing hundreds of accounts.

I not advice people to jailbreak phones. I advice to unjailbreak them. TikTok is so creppy malware, that they can read and modify Frida (jailbreak packet injector). So I have not broken iPhones. On jailbreak it's just not working here and for my guys
I have iPhone SE 2020 and iPhone 7

I see so many people overcomplicate this when it's as easy as this. TikTok will target the country of your sim card that's in the phone. If you don't have a sim card then it will target the country of your IP.

So either use a physical US sim card or a US ip. It's that simple.

Well, you have a right. It's working for 5-6 accounts, then it will shadowban every new account
Because they learned how to read some system indentifiers in December, probably against Apple and Google privacy policy.
That's why we have so many people crying since December they have 0 views.

It's working like you said, for a while. When you start spam with dozens of accounts, nope

I want currency for Russia perhaps? business account

how do you manage to reach FULL US audience - now that partially.

Here is my story: In early February, I created a TikTok account. For weeks, I only had viewers from my own country and nearby countries, averaging around 500 views per video. About 5-7 weeks after starting my account, and uploading 1 video per day, TikTok decided to push one of my videos to the US FYP. Ever since then, 95%-98% of my viewers have been from the US. Every upload gets thousands of views, some reaching millions after a few days, all from the US.

The exact same thing happened to my friend. He started his account a week or two earlier than I did in late January 2024, uploading on a daily basis, getting nothing more than a few hundred views per video. Then one day, TikTok decided to put his video on the US FYP, and it skyrocketed. In 1 week he got millions of views, 10k followers in less than 3 days and eventually got accepted into Creativity Program.


I think if you just upload normally, putting in good work, and upload consistently, TikTok will eventually push your videos to the US FYP.

Thanks for your comment but the main part is, did you do any pre-work in terms of modifications on mobile or sim?

@LScro : That’s what I thought and most likely everyone who gives this topic a first try, as well.
Set up a new phone, buy a US sim, and register / buy US Gmail, sign up with it to TikTok. Warm up the account, and enjoy.

I'm not promoting @Lukmat - tbh, we already had a conflict, so obviously he doesn't even like me as a person, still thanks to you for providing those informations.
On eBay - at least from Germany - you will find most of the cards from Lyca, they are satured, I think even the internships at TikTok know, that this is a travel sim and easy to buy- probably flagged since 3 years, if not more.

It's interesting for me, because I really thought JB (not Justin Bieber) is the key. Because of multiple apps and assignments of different hardware IDs. But when I scrolled yesterday night through Reddit, I saw that people are having more trouble with a jail broken iPhone then advantages. They even need to downgrade their versions, to get it run properly.

@Lukmat Could you tell me if iPhone X would be ok as well? Since it's the last version for JB currently, I would rather buy this (since it's display is bigger and overall better performance) then iPhone 7.

Thanks for your answers (all)!

Nothing, just created an account from scratch and started uploading. Home IP, iPhone, non-us SIM...

try it with a 4g mobile proxys. usually works

@proxygo : That would be an alternative, as well, I guess
I think AD-Browser like LinkenSphere (No advertisement)
It would also work, for instance, but the question is more or less device-based,
I truly don't want to overcomplicate it; I also think that in the first place (as @Lukmat said), it will work as @LScro mentioned: Put a US SIM (preferably any provider that is not Lycamobile) in a factory reset phone, sign up, warm up and enjoy.

Since mostly "regular" people/models, etc., only need 1-2 Accounts, it would be fine - So my Question would be more like: Is it kind of "guaranteed" that at some point, even one Account with one phone and one SIM will be shadowbanned?
Nobody can say that, but some of you guys have probably tried One Device with one SIM to One Account, without jumping between different Accounts, etc.

Eee... not like you? xD
Belive me, I don't even think about you longer than 30 seconds. So it's not about like or not like. It's neutral.

iPhone X is ok too

 

[fairyhousemgmt]

Your welcome - no need to pay for a method honestly - this is widely available information:

1) Get a physical SIM card, do NOT get a Travel SIM. Go to Amazon US and get a prepaid SIM card, they are cheap.
They don't need to be activated.

2) Reset your phone. Register a US account on iOS/Android, change time and region, language to the target region. Block GEO location.

3) Now - for most, this already is enough to reach US audience.

If you want to go the extra mile:

4) get a US Proxy. Run your phones traffic thru that proxy (do a google search, there are plenty tools avail)

IF you ant to go the extra extra Mile:

5) Don't setup the US Proxy on your mobile phone but instead, use a hotspot with US data connection. That way, TikTok can not tell, that you are outside of the US. Now, this part is a little more complicated. Google it.

That's it.

 

[zotix]

Hey, Many thanks for your comment. That's basically the foundation I had already in mind, which was somehow confirmed by others here.
I don't get the point of the "Hotspot with US Data connection." Could you please explain that a bit? Do you mean this Device:
T-Mobile Franklin T9 Mobile Hotspot 4G LTE Wireless WiFi (RT717) Band 71

Just remember, I'm from Germany, not the US, or somewhere else I can get the connection.
It will likely show "No Service," which is okay, but I still do not understand how this Hotspot can be used.

4G US Proxy could be a bit expensive in the short term for her, but in the long run, its probably the way to go, especially since (correct me if I'm wrong) Meta (Instagram, e.g.) tracks via IP.
And I assume a plain vanilla VPN will not be the solution. - Also, here, correct me if I'm wrong.

Best,
zotix
