TikTok sent you back to a different browser

TikTok opened a different browser window. Sign in there and tap Finish connecting. You don't need to go back to TikTok.

Almost connected (or TikTok sent you back to a different browser) shows when you approve the connection on TikTok and TikTok brings you back to a different browser, or a different window, from the one you started in.

Why it happens

Each browser keeps its own sign-in. So does the browser built into an app (Google, Gmail, Discord, Instagram, Facebook) and a Private tab, even when it looks like Safari. On iPhone the TikTok app usually sends you back to Safari itself, which can't see the window you started in.

What to do

1. Finish where TikTok sent you. The page keeps TikTok's approval for 10 minutes. Tap Sign in to finish, sign in (we can email you a sign-in code to type in), then tap Finish connecting. Already signed in there? Tap Finish connecting. You don't go back to TikTok. If it says your TikTok approval is still arriving, wait a few seconds and reload the page; the approval is kept.
2. Took longer than 10 minutes? The page says the connection expired. Continue to EverySqueeze and tap Connect TikTok again in that same browser: TikTok brings you back to it.
3. Signed in to a different account there? Nothing is connected. Sign in with the account you started from, then connect again.
4. Next time, start in Safari (on Android, Chrome), not inside another app or a Private tab. On the setup screen, "Copy link" copies the page link to paste into Safari.
5. Or finish on your computer. On a phone, the Connect TikTok step has "Email me a link to finish on my computer" (a one-time sign-in link to your account's email; 3 a day).

For your safety, a connection only finishes in a browser that is signed in to the account that started it. Nothing connects in the other window until you tap Finish connecting.

In the EverySqueeze iPhone app

TikTok can't send you back into the app. Where the in-app connect is on for your account, "Connect TikTok Shop" opens TikTok in a secure window inside the app that closes by itself when you approve. Otherwise the app offers "Email me a link to finish setup" (or "Email me a link to connect TikTok" in Settings and Posts): open it in Safari or on your computer, connect there, then come back; the app checks again ("I’ve connected TikTok, check again").

If it still fails, use Report a problem in Pip's menu and say which browser you used.
