Why do ppl Ik keep on popping up in my fyp

I swear every time I’m js scrolling on TikTok there’s the section that’s like “ppl you might know” and it’s ppl I actually know. Like im pretty sure I have my contacts off and stuff but TikTok always find a way to catch my friends. Like the other day, I accidentally posted something that was supposed to be for myself only and I got few follows from ppl Ik irl. LIKE I SWEAR if I want to post something I feel less motivated to cuz I don’t want ppl Ik irl looking at my thirst straps and stuff 😭

Totally feel you had TikTok since 2019 and have posted one video because of this very reason.

Proximity.

They might have added your contact to the app when they gave TikTok access.

I’m guessing majority of people it increases profit and info they have on us.

I have my contacts off yet an online friend started talking about my TT. I asked how he knew about it and he said it came up on his TT account via contacts.

Are you sure your facebook account isn’t connected to TikTok because I deal with this too and it’s because of fb

I wonder if it could be some kind of issue of privacy/cookies... Like it's looking in your contacts or it could be presenting people who searched your name or profile?
