# Connect TikTok. Android and iPhone.

> Start in your dashboard, approve the connection in the installed TikTok app and return to the website. From a computer, scan the QR using TikTok’s in-app scanner.

## Before you start

Open the installed TikTok app and check that you are signed into the intended account. Then open simplefire.org in your phone’s browser. Register with a verified email and password or choose Telegram sign-in. Your Simple Fire sign-in and your TikTok sign-in are separate.

Choose the free trial or account connection in your dashboard. The three-day trial begins after a successful TikTok connection, not when you open this guide. Connect only an account that you are authorised to manage.

## On iPhone: open the installed app

Choose “Open TikTok” on the connection screen. In the application, check the profile and approve sign-in. Return to the same browser and connection attempt; the dashboard should receive the approval and show the connected account.

If the link stays on TikTok’s website, opening it is not the same as approving sign-in. Look for the approval inside the installed app. If an embedded browser interferes, open simplefire.org in Safari and begin a new attempt.

Do not reuse an old attempt’s link. The connection screen shows its expiry; start again after that time. Opening TikTok without approving the particular connection does not provide Simple Fire with a confirmed session.

## On Android: when a download page appears

Try “Open TikTok” from a fresh connection attempt first. If the phone opens a download page even though TikTok is installed, return and try “Open another version of TikTok” when offered. The website and bot may use different captions.

If you started inside Telegram’s embedded browser, try the ordinary browser on your phone. You can also check the installed TikTok app’s supported-link settings in Android. The exact system menu names depend on the device and Android version.

Modified builds may handle links differently. A normal video link opening the application does not prove that a sign-in approval link is supported. Simple Fire cannot guarantee every modified build. Do not remove the app or install an unknown APK just to diagnose the connection.

## From a computer: scan inside TikTok

Keep the connection page open on your computer. Open the QR scanner in TikTok on your phone, scan the code and approve the intended account. The scanner’s location varies between application versions.

The phone’s ordinary camera may open the address in a browser and show a download page or a request to use TikTok. That is different from scanning inside the application. If you see “Use TikTok to scan”, return to TikTok’s scanner.

If the code expires, begin a fresh attempt on the computer and scan the new code. Do not share the QR or sign-in link publicly: the account owner should approve the connection themselves.

## After approval: allow the chat list to load

Check the connected TikTok name in your dashboard and wait for conversations to refresh. Signing in and loading chats are separate steps. An empty list immediately after approval does not establish that the account has no conversations; read any specific failure reason shown.

Once the list is ready, select recipients, content and time, then confirm activation. Adding the website to your home screen is optional. Sending runs on the server and does not depend on keeping the browser open.

## Restore an existing connection

When an existing account needs sign-in again, use its reconnect action. Its paid time and saved settings should not become a new purchase. Confirm the same TikTok profile before approving access.

If a fresh attempt also fails, contact support from the dashboard with your phone model, Android or iOS version, browser, attempt time and the page opened by the button. Do not include passwords, one-time codes or cookies.
