Regaining Access To My TikTok Account

I am writing to report a problem with recovering my TikTok account and to request manual identity verification so that I can regain access. My account is registered in Australia, and the main issue is that I have lost access to the old phone number that was used for verification. Because of this, I am unable to receive any verification codes needed to log in. I last had access to my account in 2023, and for the past few weeks I have been actively trying to recover it without success. I still have access to the email address linked to the account, and I have also tried logging in through the social media account that was connected, but none of these options have allowed me to bypass the old phone number requirement. I have contacted TikTok support through the in‑app options and so far I have received only automated replies, with no real guidance or solution. I am going in circles and unable to move forward, even though I can prove that the email and account belong to me. I kindly request that TikTok support manually review my case, verify my identity using the email and any additional information you may require, and restore my access to the account without requiring the old phone number that I no longer have. I am ready to provide any necessary documents or confirmations so this issue can be resolved and I can use my account again.
