How Do I Switch Back to Personal Account on TikTok?

While the Pro account is free on TikTok, it has certain drawbacks. For instance, you can’t use some songs that aren’t licensed for commercial use. If you regret switching your account type and wish to go back to a Personal account, follow the instructions below:

1. Launch the TikTok app on your phone. You won’t be able to do this from the browser version.

2. In the bottom right corner of the screen, tap your profile picture.

5. Go back to the main page. Your account type should now be switched, and your link in the bio removed.

How do I add multiple links in my Bio?

One link is fine if you want to direct other users to your website. But what if you have a website, Amazon wish list, and Etsy store? Fortunately, you can add what’s called a “Link Tree.” This link tree is a single URL you can add to your Bio (as shown above) and lists all of your website links.

You can create the link tree using a third-party website like Linktree. All you need to do is create an account and add your links to your dashboard. Then, post the link to the link tree in your TikTok Bio.

Can I add a link to a Personal bio?

No, you cannot add a hyperlink to a personal bio. But, if you want to add a URL to your bio, you can. Unfortunately, the users who are interested in viewing your website will need to copy the URL and paste it into a browser.

Attract New Audience

Now that you’ve added a link to your TikTok bio, you can expect an influx of traffic to its source. If you did everything right but still don’t see the option to add a link, the TikTok version in your region may be late to update. The developers are adding this feature gradually, so some may not yet be able to use it. That may seem unfair, but stay patient and recheck your profile Settings in a few days. Hopefully, the desired feature will be there.
