You have allowed tick-tock website to send you notifications I guess. If so, you can clear this permission in your browser settings.

ITT: User complains that he doesn't understand WebApps and bitches at TikTok 🤣.
Though to be fair, the Tiktok should definitely delete the notification subscription from their database if the account is being deleted.
What's a webapp?
A web site that installs some JS in your browser (called a "service worker") that does shit
Tik Tok is so awful it's disheartening that people don't get it.
I hate how awful yet ubiquitous it is. Depending on your demographic, not having it can mean you miss out on a lot of pop culture and sort of get left behind.
I'm probably in the like 2nd most targeted demographic, so all my friends are on TT and all the trending things related to our hobbies are on there. I constantly feel left out because I'm missing 99% of the content. And it's hard because I want to have dumb conversations about pop culture and hobbies with my friends, but I refuse to download it. It makes me so sad. It's very isolating
I dont have TT. I also don't have Snapchat. Therefore, I also don't have friends, or have any clue what is going on in the lives of those around me or the pop culture of my generation.
It is a lonely existence, but I refuse to get either of those apps. People have my number. If they actually cared, they could return my texts.
What do you mean by notification? Is it an email or an android notification?
I shouldve screenshot it too but it looked like it came from the app and I don't have any emails from them. It looked real enough that I went to my notification settings to turn it off but I forgot I uninstalled it a while ago. I'm really confused because I didn't think websites could send notifications through chrome
Open the Chrome menu, go to Settings > Site Settings > All Sites. Check if you have Tiktok in there, click the site and you'll see a Clear & reset button. Clicking the button should remove any notifications from the site coming from Chrome.
websites can indeed send you notifications but it you get asked and also you can turn those off somewhere
So I don’t know how this works on Android, but maybe you can try re-installing the app? On iOS the push token changes for each install of the app. Super weird that can happen…
Holy 54 tabs batman!
Don’t ask me how I know the safari tab limit is 500
May as well put my phone's ram to use!
You should be able to click on the lock, click permissions, and then click reset permissions.
It might be slightly different per browser but that's the jist of it.
Sign up to Anonaddy, instead of giving out your real email addresses use aliases. That way when companies pull this shit you just deactivate the alias.
How does that even work? Is it even possible to do that on mobile?
