How to Stop Getting Ads on TikTok

Unfortunately, you cannot turn off TikTok ads on the app. However, you can opt-out of receiving personalized ads. You’ll still see ads while using the app, but this way, you can at least stop TikTok from taking your data to show you targeted advertisements.

How to Stop TikTok from Giving You Personalized Ads

1. Open the app and tap “Profile” on the bottom right corner of your screen.
2. At the top right of your screen, you should see 3 lines. Tap those 3 lines to go to your settings.
3. Tap “Settings and Privacy.”
4. Tap “Ads.”
5. Tap the button next to “Target ads” to toggle off.

How to Stop Receiving TikTok Ads on Your Browser

The above instructions will stop all the targeted ads on TikTok, but that doesn’t mean you’ll stop seeing TikTok-related ads while you’re browsing the internet. You may even see the same ads you saw on the TikTok app previously.

If you want those to stop, you’ll need to reset your browser settings. You’ll have to do this every so often, as the cached data piles up unless you use a VPN. Here’s how to do this without resetting all your stored passwords and important information on your browser:
