I think this is the type of privacy-defeating feature that ought to bring regulatory action, but it's probably too small of a feature to get noticed. The icon is two uppercase letters "A" where one letter is small and the other big like this: AAĪ sidenote, but I think it's really inappropriate that tiktok has taken so many steps to purposefully prevent people from getting out of the in-app browser, because this creates a (theoretical) risk that the app will be able to harvest private data from unsuspecting users, like passwords and credit card info. In safari, inside the address bar, on the left most edge, click the page settings icon. Repeat steps 1-5 above, except using safari instead of chrome ( Not tested, but I'm pretty sure this is right) See that the bio link is now displayed and clickable. See that the page reloads, now displaying a desktop version of the page. Viber is a secure, private, fun messaging and calling app, connecting over a billion people worldwide With group chats, disappearing messages, reminders. In chrome, click the 3 dots at the upper right hand corner (Infuriatingly, the bio link is now hidden, which I can only assume is something tiktok has done to force you into their unusable in-app browser.) See that you arrive on the user profile in chrome.

Open the chrome browser, and paste the url in the address bar In the menu that pops up, click "copy link" Go to the user profile page in the mobile appĬlick the 3 dots at the upper right hand corner (Tested on google pixel 6, android 12, tiktok version 25.1.3, chrome version 1.71 future versions may break this flow)
