How to Use TikTok in China with a Gohub eSIM

Learn how to disable TikTok’s location access and prepare your phone before traveling to China so you can use TikTok with a Gohub China eSIM.

For China eSIM plans labeled “100% TikTok” on the Gohub website, Gohub guarantees TikTok access throughout your stay in China.

To qualify for this guarantee and minimize potential issues, please complete all the steps below before and during your trip.

Important: Install your eSIM and configure your TikTok settings while you are still in Vietnam, following the instructions below.

Step 1: Install Your eSIM Before Leaving Vietnam

Install the eSIM on your device before departing for China.

After installation:

• Keep the eSIM installed on your device.

• Do not delete the eSIM after installing it.

• Do not wait until you arrive in China to install the eSIM.

Step 2: Disable TikTok’s Location Access Before Traveling to China

This step is mandatory.

Before departure, check your phone’s settings and disable location access for TikTok.

On iPhone

Go to Settings → Apps → TikTok, then disable Location Access, Live Activities, and Allow Tracking, as shown in the guide below.

On Android

Menu names may vary depending on your device. In most cases, you can follow the five steps shown below.

Step 3: Use Your Gohub eSIM’s Mobile Data to Access TikTok in China

Once you arrive in China, follow these requirements when using TikTok:

• Use mobile data from your Gohub eSIM.

• Do not switch to hotel, airport, café, or public Wi-Fi.

• Make sure your phone is using the Gohub eSIM for mobile data.

Accessing TikTok through Wi-Fi in China may reveal your device’s location or connection information and affect your ability to access TikTok afterward.

Before traveling to China, make sure you have completed all three mandatory requirements:

☐ Installed your Gohub eSIM while still in Vietnam.

☐ Disabled TikTok’s location access.

☐ Understood that you must not use Wi-Fi in China to access TikTok.

Please complete all the instructions above before departure.
