How To Add Another TikTok Account With Same Email:

Technically, NO. You cannot create multiple accounts using one email address, as TikTok does offer such services due to security and verification reasons. 

Well, well, there is a very secretive trick, following which you can freely create multiple TikTok accounts with the same email address.

The name of the trick is the “Dot Trick”. What exactly you have to do is, add a ‘dot’ (.) in between in your Gmail username. You can add this dot anywhere in between your Gmail username, make sure it is before ‘[email protected]’. 

For example- If your previous Gmail username/address is – [email protected]  then, your Gmail username/address will be – [email protected]. You can notice, that the Gmail address is very much the same, just a dot is added in the new one. 

This means, that to create multiple accounts, each time you have to add a ‘dot’ in between the email address, in a new place

You might be scratching your head, thinking, will TikTok accept it? Yes, it will. When you will enter the email ID with a dot for creating a new account, the mail system will automatically exclude the dot in further steps, but at that time, TikTok will accept the Gmail ID in dot format.

Actually, in the end, it opens the same email id (your original one) but behaves like a different id on a third party.

Now, let us discuss the step-by-step procedure to create and add another TikTok account with the same email address. Follow the steps:

Step 1: Open TikTok & tap ‘Me’ option

First of all, go to the play store or the app store and go to the TikTok app to check the update. If an update is available, then first update the app. For this trick to work best, you should be having an updated version of TikTok.

After checking the update, open the app on your phone and log in to your account. Enter the email address/username and password of the account to which you want to add another account. 

Log in and go to your profile page, through the ‘Me’ option. It is located in the bottom right corner of the home screen. Tap on the “Me” option and you will reach your account’s profile page.

Step 2: See your name & tap on > Down Arrow

Now, on the profile page, look at the top center of the screen. You will find your account name in the middle, with a small, black, ‘drop-down’ arrow on the right side. 

Click on that “drop-down” arrow and there you will get the option to add another account to this existing account. Using this ‘+ Add Account’ option, you can create a new account as well as log in to an already created account. You have both options here.

Here, be careful. Do not get confused between the username and the account name. The username has a “@” in starting, but the account name does have such a thing. Attentively, tap on the name, given on the top edge of the screen with a drop-down arrow. 

Step 3: Tap on ‘+ Add account’

Next, tap on “+ Add Account” and a box will come up on the screen which will hand you the options to create a new account.

Even for creating a new account, multiple options are given, such as Signing up with a phone number or email, or Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc. But, ignore all of that, and select the option of signing up with an email address, that is > “Sign up with phone number or email”. 

Step 4: Tap on ‘Sign up with phone or email’ & Choose Email

Now, to create a new account using the previous email address, click on “Sign up with phone or email”. After that, add your date of birth. Make sure you add the year correctly, because, many options are only for users who are 16+ years old.

Enter your birthday and on the next tab, you will see two columns. One says to enter a phone number for new account verification and the other asks to enter the email address. However, you have to choose “Email”. 

Step 5: Set username & password & Add Email

 Enter the username for this account and set a password. Next, add your email address. Type in the Gmail address in the space given for email.

Focus here! You have to type the previous Gmail address which you want to use for this account, but with a dot (.) in between the username. For example- if the previously used Gmail ID is – [email protected], then this time, write it as: [email protected].

You don’t need to register that again rather it would redirect to the mail Gmail id excluding dot. Also, TikTok accepts email IDs in the dot format and thus you can create another TikTok with the same email ID.
