TikTok Account Recovery,I Can't Access The Phone Number

I have been unable to access my TikTok account @margret3514 since March 2026, after I accidentally logged out. I know my password and I am still using the same Android Infinix device I used before, but every login attempt is blocked by the verification step. Each time I try to log in, TikTok only offers verification through the phone number that was previously linked to my account. I no longer have access to this phone number, so I cannot receive the verification code. I also tried the “Request support” option and submitted my details multiple times, but I either receive no effective help or I am again directed back to verification via the lost phone number. The “verify with friends” method is also not available to me, so I am left with no usable recovery option. I kindly request that my identity be manually verified by TikTok and that full access to my account @margret3514 be restored. I also ask that the old, inaccessible phone number be removed from my account and that future verification codes and security confirmations be sent to my active email address, zangoma**@gmail.com, so that I can securely use my account again without being locked out.
