Tik Tok appears

I woke up this morning to the Tik Tok app installed on my phone. I did not download this app. It just downloaded it’s self. Any one else experience this?

iPhone 12 Pro, iOS 15

Greetings Scrambled_Eggs_80, 


Apple Support Communities is a wonderful place for help! It sounds as though you’ve noticed an app having downloaded to your device without you downloading it. To confirm, do you have any other Apple products where this app may have been downloaded too previously? If so, it’s possible that Automatic Downloads may be enabled on your iPhone. This can be turned off and on in Settings > App Store. If the app was installed with your Apple ID on another device and this setting is disabled on the iPhone, or you notice other apps downloading to your iPhone after disabling this feature. You'll want to verify you're running the latest iOS.  


Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch


If you’re already updated, or the issue continues after updating you’ll want to reach out to Apple. You can find their contact information online via the Get Support website.

Take care!
