How to Download Douyin

For Android Users:

If you use a Chinese phone brand (Huawei, Xiaomi, Oppo, Vivo), search "抖音" in the default app store. Otherwise, go to the official Douyin website (douyin.com) and scan the QR code to download the APK directly.

For iPhone Users:

You must change your Apple ID region to China Mainland. Go to Settings → Apple ID → Media & Purchases → View Account → Country/Region → select China Mainland → agree to terms. Then search "抖音" in App Store and download.
