Never have I ever thought that after doomscrolling for hours on multiple social media apps, netizens would want to scroll on their Apple Watches too. The internet is a bizarre place where screen-glued addicts can’t spend a little while without watching TikToks.
So, to answer the question of the day, yes, you can watch TikTok on Apple Watch, and it can be done in multiple ways. There’s no official TikTok app for the Apple Watch; however, there are multiple workarounds.
How to Get TikTok on Apple Watch?
As I said, while there’s no official way to download TikTok’s official app, this doesn’t mean that you won’t receive TikTok notifications on your Watch. Like all other social media notifications, you will definitely receive notifications.
However, you won’t be able to open the official app right from your watch. Don’t worry, your waste of time isn’t going anywhere. There are certain third-party apps and a few tricks to watch TikTok videos.
Let’s get started-
1. DouWatch App
DouWatch is a paid TikTok app that has limited functionality. It allows you to “star” videos and save them to your account under Favorites. Later, from your phone, you can see the Favorite videos and watch them.
When you install the DouWatch app on your iPhone, you do not need to log in to the Apple Watch app; it will log in by itself. After the free trial, you will be asked to pay for a subscription. The last time I checked, it was $2.29.
2. Tik Watch
The Tik Watch app allows you much more functionality right from your Apple Watch. Users can browse the app, search profiles, search hashtags, interact in the Discover section, and view videos.
Tik Watch has a subscription of $3.49 and is preferable over DouWatch as the former is highly used and even reviewed well. DouWatch app has pretty bad reviews on the App Store so always make an informed decision.
3. Access TikTok From The Web
Alternatively, if you just want to browse the TikTok app, then you can simply ask Siri to “Google Search” and say “TikTok”. Click on the first search result, log in or don’t, and you will be accessing the app.
Please note here that you won’t be able to play any video. Just follow/unfollow accounts, interact around, basically most of the things, minus playing the video. I know it would be a bummer for you!
How to Get TikTok Notifications on your Apple Watch?
As I mentioned earlier, you can receive notifications from the official TikTok app on your iPhone. If this sounds like something you would want to do, then go through the instructions below and follow along-
- Open the Settings app on your iPhone and click on Notifications.
- Tap on TikTok, and turn the toggle on for Allow Notifications.
- Now, open the Apple Watch app.
- Tap on Notifications and then turn the toggle on for TikTok.
Wrap Up
You can download Tik Watch app and DouWatch app to access TikTok from your Apple Watch. Both require a subscription, and only Tik Watch allows playing videos on the Watch. What other social media app do you want to mindlessly spend your time on? Comment below and you will get the answer.
