TikTok Verification Code Is Sent to Old Number and I Cannot Access My Account

I have been unable to access my TikTok account since the beginning of this year because the phone number linked to the account is no longer in my possession. I remember my username and the old number, and when I try to log in with my password, TikTok still requires a 6‑digit verification code that is being sent to that old number, which I cannot receive. Because of this, I am effectively locked out of my own account, even though I can provide the username and other information. My account username is @Knmwas4. There is no visible option that allows me to verify my identity in another way or to bypass SMS verification to the old number, so I am stuck at the verification step. I request that TikTok help me recover my account without using SMS to the old number and to update the phone number registered to my account to a new number that I can actually access, after verifying my identity through alternative methods. I am ready to share my new phone number privately if requested. Please contact me at [email protected] regarding this issue so that I can regain access to my account and use it normally again.
