How to Stop Getting Emails from TikTok

Introduction

TikTok is a well-known social media platform popular for its short-form content. It's easy to lose track of time while scrolling through this app. What's worse is the distraction caused by a ton of emails sent by TikTok. Some of these emails are useful, such as security alerts and password reset emails. However, many of them are unnecessary, such as notifications about likes, comments, new followers, tags and mentions, videos, and promotional emails such as TikTok trends and challenges.

If you are looking for a way to stop getting emails from TikTok, you are in the right place. This article presents various strategies to help you stop the influx of TikTok emails and maintain a cleaner inbox.

Turn Off Emails using the TikTok App

One way to stop receiving TikTok emails is to disable them from the app settings. You can disable all emails or customize your preferences to receive only selected emails, such as account updates.

However, you may be unable to access your account because you forgot your login credentials or your account was suspended. In that case, you can unsubscribe directly from emails by clicking the link provided by TikTok at the bottom of the email.

Here's how to adjust email preferences from TikTok mobile app settings:

1. Log in to your TikTok account.
2. Go to your profile and tap on the hamburger menu icon.
3. Select "Settings and privacy" from the menu and open "Notifications."

4. Scroll to the bottom and select "Email notifications."

5. You can enable the notifications you want to receive and disable the rest. If you wish to receive none, you can disable all email notifications.

Unsubscribe from TikTok Emails via Email Links

A quick and easy way to opt out of TikTok emails is to unsubscribe using the link provided at the bottom of TikTok emails. However, this method is not always safe. A seemingly legitimate TikTok email could be a phishing attempt imitating the platform. Most phishing attempts are so sophisticated that it's difficult to tell whether the emails are actually from TikTok.

If you are unsure whether the email is from TikTok or don't want to go through the hassle of unsubscribing, consider blocking the emails rather than unsubscribing.

However, if you are certain the email is from TikTok, you can use the unsubscribe link to stop getting emails from TikTok.

1. Open any email from TikTok.
2. Find the "unsubscribe" link at the bottom of the email and click it.
3. Follow the on-screen steps to complete the unsubscription.

If you are a Gmail user, you can cancel your email subscription by clicking the "Unsubscribe" button at the top of the TikTok email.

Block TikTok Emails Using BlockSender

Many email users complain about receiving emails from TikTok even though they don't have a TikTok account or haven't linked their email accounts to TikTok. It is advised not to interact with such emails, as they are likely phishing attempts by hackers trying to compromise your account.

You should block these emails to avoid accidentally opening any links in such emails, including unsubscribe links. You can do so using Gmail filters, or if you are looking for a more straightforward approach, you can use Block Sender. Block Sender allows you to block emails without unsubscribing.

Block Sender is an email-blocking tool designed to block unwanted emails easily. It covers all your needs, whether you need to block emails using email addresses, keywords, or advanced options such as IP addresses, entire domains, domain extensions, email subjects, or headers.

Download the Chrome extension for Gmail if you haven't already done so. To block TikTok emails:

1. Go to Gmail and open any email sent by TikTok.
2. Click on the "Block" icon and select a blocking option that suits your needs.

In the future, all blocked emails will automatically be sent to the Trash folder, where they will be kept for thirty days.

Blocking by Sender vs Domain

Selecting the "Emails from this sender" option will block all future emails from the blocked email address. On the other hand, the "Emails from this domain" blocking option applies to all email addresses from the blocked domain. For example, black listing @service.tiktok.com will block all email addresses from this domain, such as [email protected].

Delete Blocked Emails Permanently

With Block Sender, you can have the blocked emails skip the Trash folder and be permanently deleted upon receipt - an option not provided by Gmail.

By default, Block Sender sends the blocked emails to the Trash folder. Here's how you can change this setting:

1. Click on the "Block" icon and select "Manage Blocks."

2. Find the block you wish to change and select "Edit" from the "Options" dropdown.

3. Select "Delete (skip trash)" from the dropdown.

4. Click "Save Changes".

Advanced Blocking using WildCards

To stop getting TikTok emails from all its email addresses and domains can be tricky as this platform uses separate email addresses and domains for each purpose, such as password reset emails and general notifications. However, we have got a solution for that.

Block Sender offers wildcards, an advanced feature for blocking all emails from a particular platform without setting up multiple blocking rules. Here's how to use "Wildcards" to stop getting any emails from TikTok.

1. Click on the "Blocks" icon and select "New Block."

2. Select the "Website/Domain" option from the dropdown.
3. Type *tiktok.com in the "Website/Domain to Block" field.

4. Click "Save".

The *tiktok.com blocking rule covers all TikTok email addresses and domains, such as [email protected], [email protected], and the entire @tiktok.com domain.
