LDR: IT professional here—I set this up for my wife. Here’s a step-by-step guide:

  1. Uninstall TikTok: Start by deleting the TikTok app from your device.
  2. Install a VPN: Download a reliable VPN app and set your location to Canada. (This will allow you to bypass restrictions.)
  3. Sign Out of Your Apple ID: Log out of your current iCloud/Apple ID account.
  4. Create a New Canadian Apple ID: • Use a random Canadian address when setting it up. • Opt for an iCloud email address to keep things simple.
  5. Change App Store Region: Once the account is created, go to the App Store settings and ensure the region is set to Canada. Update it if necessary.
  6. Download TikTok: With the new account and Canadian region settings, search for TikTok in the App Store and download it.
  7. Revert to Your Original Apple ID: After TikTok is installed, sign out of the temporary Canadian Apple ID and log back into your main Apple ID.
  8. Launch TikTok: Open the app, but keep in mind: • Don’t log in with your existing TikTok account. Doing so will trigger the ban message again. • Instead, create a new TikTok account and always use it with the VPN set to Canada.

This workaround should work until the ban is lifted!

Let me know if this works for you!
