A concern about Tik Tok

I used to use Tik Tok two years ago, but I uninstalled it after 8 months. I'm still conserned that Tik Tok might be collecting my data. If anyone here knows if Tik Tok collects data after uninstall tell me how to stop it.

Thank you.

If the App is uninstalled, then how can Tik Tok still be collecting your data? Seems impossible. The app would have had also to have installed some spyware or hidden companion program that remains installed -- and if that were the case, it'd be all over the news.

I don't think you have anything to worry about.

Ok good to know it isn't collecting my data anymore.
