Bought new phone....no tiktok...

Android or iPhone?

Plenty of people carry 2 phones one for personal and one for work

Just run your old phone off your new phones mobile hotspot

VPN, switch regions.

if you got an android: just sideload it

if you got an iphone: why

Android it's easily downloaded homie. Easy Google search for tiktok apk or with whatever app transfer thingy you can do with Samsung? Or galaxys....

I thought it wasn't in the app store cause technically it's still banned, they just aren't enforcing it for 90 days or whatever it was until they can figure out how the US is gonna buy it- or finally get rid of it for good.

Why is Tiktok so important?

Did you try using a data transfer app like SmartSwitch/CopyMyData to transfer the app?

Click the link, go down to the middle and download, open and run. It works. You're welcome.

here's how to avoid vpn. If you still have your old phone, download samsung smart switch on it and the new phone, and you can choose what you want to transfer without having to go through the play store.
