The ability to launch the TikTok application with its audio automatically silenced is a feature request driven by user preference. This addresses situations where unexpected audio playback may be disruptive or unwanted, such as in quiet environments or during sensitive meetings. While TikTok does not natively offer a persistent, built-in setting to achieve this directly, users have explored various workarounds to manage the app’s initial audio output.
Implementing a method to control TikTok’s initial audio behavior provides several benefits. It grants users greater control over their device’s audio environment, preventing unintended disturbances. This is particularly valuable in professional settings or public spaces. Historically, concerns regarding unwanted audio playback have led to users manually adjusting volume settings or relying on third-party applications to manage application-specific audio levels.
