## Chinese SIM cards

On most Android phones, TikTok will not work if you have a Chinese SIM card. Remove the SIM card (or disable it in the SIM manager) if you want to use TikTok on Android.

### Technical background

Android has two functions that apps can use to determine your SIM card- or Mobile Network country:

* getSimCountryIso
* getNetworkCountryIso

Current Android versions do not provide any option to block apps from using these functions.
