TikTok Account Recovery – Old Phone Number No Longer Active

I am having trouble accessing my old TikTok account with the username “clovennormal314.” I created this account with my old phone number, which has been disconnected for years, and I can no longer receive any verification codes or use it to log in. My last post on this account was on 06/20/2023. I would like to regain access to this account and have the phone number on it changed to my current number, which is a United States number. I have already tried resetting the password and followed the instructions provided in TikTok’s support section and live chat, but I still cannot log in or pass the verification steps because the old number is not active anymore. I am requesting that TikTok help me verify my identity in another way and restore my access to the account “clovennormal314,” then update the linked phone number to my current U.S. number so that I can continue to use this account safely.
