Preparing your download area. The button appears when the countdown finishes.
Install TikTok first and sign in, because the plugin is a companion with nothing to control until the main app exists. When a file is linked here, check the install screen carefully: the app name should read TikTok Plugin, the permissions should be short, and nothing should ask for your TikTok password. After installing, open the plugin before TikTok, set your region and download folder, and run one test download. Our full checking method is described on the How We Review page.
When a file is linked, this page runs a short six second countdown and then shows the download button. At the moment no file is linked yet, so the button area explains that plainly instead of sending you anywhere.
The short countdown keeps accidental taps and automated hits away from the file, and gives you a moment to confirm you are on the right page for the TikTok Plugin app.
Yes. Install TikTok first and sign in. The plugin is a companion, so its settings only work when the main app is present on the same phone.
No file is linked on this page yet, so no file size is shown. A size will only ever be published here when it comes from the actual linked file, never guessed.
The plugin is a free add-on. This page does not charge for downloads, and it never asks for payment details.
Check the app name reads TikTok Plugin, review the permissions on the install screen, and make sure TikTok is already installed and working on your phone.
The plugin file is an Android package. On a PC it only becomes useful inside an Android emulator with TikTok installed there too.
Open the plugin first, grant the permissions it requests, apply your first settings such as region and download folder, and only then open TikTok to test them.
The button stays hidden while the countdown runs, by design. It appears when the timer reaches zero, so the page you see first is information, not a race to tap.
Every app page here is checked by our reviewer, Greta Novak, a mobile tools and add-ons specialist, using the process described on the How We Review page.
