How to switch your TikTok account between Personal (Creator) and Business

Soco works with Personal (Creator) TikTok accounts only, and you switch account types in the TikTok app under Settings and privacy, then Account.

Written by Basel from Soco

Soco works with Personal (Creator) TikTok accounts only. If your account is set to Business, switch it before Soco can work. TikTok no longer uses the label "Creator account": it's now called a Personal account, and the two mean the same thing.


Switch from Business to Personal

The switch happens inside TikTok's own settings:

  1. Open the TikTok app.

  2. Tap Profile at the bottom.

  3. Tap the three-line Menu button at the top.

  4. Tap Settings and privacy.

  5. Tap Account.

  6. Tap Switch to Personal Account and confirm the change.

The path back is the same menu:

  1. Open the TikTok app.

  2. Tap Profile at the bottom.

  3. Tap the three-line Menu button at the top.

  4. Tap Settings and privacy.

  5. Tap Account.

  6. Tap Switch to Business Account, select your business category, and confirm the change.
