Want to find someone on TikTok but don’t know how?
Finding someone on TikTok is simple—all you have to do is use the search function on the app.
However, you need to know the username or the person’s name.
If you don’t know the person’s username or name, you won’t be able to search for them on TikTok.
Similarly, if you want to find someone on TikTok by phone number, you cannot use the search function.
Instead, you’ll have to navigate to the “Find Contacts” page on the TikTok app.
In this guide, you’ll learn how to find someone on TikTok on the app, by phone number, and on a computer.

How to find someone on TikTok
To find someone on TikTok, you can use the search function on the app or navigate to the “Find Friends” page.
Alternatively, if you know the person’s username, you can access their profile by going to tiktok.com/@username in a browser.
Open TikTok > sign in > Explore > search for their name/username.
The “Find Friends” page allows you to find your friends on TikTok through your contact list or Facebook.
If you have a lot of people in your contact list, some of them may have connected their phone numbers to TikTok, so you can find them via the “Find Contacts” feature.
Profile links on TikTok are different from other social media platforms.
On social media platforms like Instagram, profile links do not contain the “@” symbol (e.g. instagram.com/followchainorg).
However, if you want to access someone’s profile using their link on TikTok, you must add an “@” sign in front of their username (e.g. tiktok.com/@followchain).
The search function on TikTok is similar to other social networking platforms.
To search for someone, you can enter their name or username (if you know it).
Then, scroll down to the search results to find their profile based on their profile picture, social links (if applicable), etc.
But anyway, here are some ways that you can find someone on TikTok.
How to find someone on TikTok by phone number
Your profile > the profile icon with the “+” sign.
To find someone on TikTok by phone number, you need to navigate to the “Find Friends” page.
The “Find Friends” page allows you to find your friends on TikTok through your contacts or Facebook.
First, open TikTok on your mobile device.
Then log in to your account if you haven’t already.
Once you’re on TikTok’s homepage, tap the “Me” icon on the bottom navigation bar.
This will take you to your profile, where you can see all your videos.
On the top navigation bar of your profile, you will see a profile icon with a “+” sign.
Tap the profile icon with the “+” sign to go to the “Find Friends” page.
Tap the “Find Contacts” option to find your contacts who have a TikTok account and have linked their phone number to that account.
Once you’re on the “Find Friends” page, you’ll see three options—Invite Friends, Find Contacts, and Find Friends on Facebook.
The “Invite Friends” option allows you to invite your friends to join TikTok using various options such as social networks or from your contacts.
Next, the “Find Contacts” option allows you to find your friends on TikTok through their phone numbers.
Finally, the “Find Facebook Friends” option allows you to find your friends on TikTok using Facebook.
The “Find Contacts” option is the one you want to use.
Tap the “Find Contacts” option.
TikTok will then prompt you to add your phone number.
You can tap “Skip” to skip or “Add” to add your phone number.
Adding your phone number will allow your friends to find your profile on TikTok through your phone number.
If you tap “Skip”, your friends will not be able to find your profile on TikTok with your phone number.
Once you’ve omitted or added your phone number, you’ll be added to the contact list.
Contacts list displays a list of your contacts with an “Invite” or “Follow” button.
People with a “Follow” button mean they have their phone number connected to TikTok and they have the app on their device.
On the other hand, people with an “Invite” button means they don’t have their phone number connected to TikTok or they don’t have the app on their device.
Congratulations, you’ve learned how to find someone on TikTok by phone number!
How to search for someone on TikTok on a computer
Go to TikTok.com > click the “Sign In” button > sign in.
To search for someone on TikTok on your computer, you need to go to the TikTok website and log into your account.
Once you’re signed in to your account, you can search for someone by their name or username using the search function.
Remember that you cannot use the search function on TikTok without being logged in.
However, if you know the person’s username, you can access their profile via tiktok.com/@username.
To get started, go to TikTok.com and click the “Sign In” button.
Then, sign in to TikTok with your phone number/email/username or one of the social login options.
Search for someone by their name/username using the search function on the top navigation bar.
After logging in to TikTok, you will go to the “For You” page.
On the top navigation bar, you will see the TikTok logo.
Next to the TikTok logo, there is a search bar that says “Search for an account”.
To search for someone, type the person’s name or username in the search bar and press enter.
The search results will then show records with the name/username you searched for.
To load more search results, scroll to the bottom of the page and tap “Get more”.
Congratulations, you have successfully learned how to find someone on TikTok on your computer/PC/desktop.
Conclusion
Finding friends on TikTok can be challenging as most people don’t connect their phone number on the app.
If a person doesn’t connect their phone number to TikTok, you won’t be able to find them through your contacts.
Instead, you can find them by searching for their name or username (if you know it).
Otherwise, there’s no way to tell if they have TikTok unless you ask them.
