I bought a new phone (Moto) it came with TikTok installed.

I play a game called ultimate Jewel Tutankhamun. When you change to another "room" a TikTok ad shows.

I don't run TikTok, and it's annoying as hell the ways it's trying to get my to use it.

The phone side of Moto (old Motorola Mobility) is just Lenovo, which is why Tiktok is installed on it.

My Dad retired Air Force and worked for Motorola selling two-way radios for a few years.

Moto holds a special thought for me.
