Somehow, TikTok is sending me notifications even though I don't have the app. And in order to disable them I have to install it.

I shouldve screenshot it too but it looked like it came from the app and I don't have any emails from them. It looked real enough that I went to my notification settings to turn it off but I forgot I uninstalled it a while ago. I'm really confused because I didn't think websites could send notifications through chrome

Open the Chrome menu, go to Settings > Site Settings > All Sites. Check if you have Tiktok in there, click the site and you'll see a Clear & reset button. Clicking the button should remove any notifications from the site coming from Chrome.

websites can indeed send you notifications but it you get asked and also you can turn those off somewhere

So I don’t know how this works on Android, but maybe you can try re-installing the app? On iOS the push token changes for each install of the app. Super weird that can happen…
