You have allowed tick-tock website to send you notifications I guess. If so, you can clear this permission in your browser settings.
Website based notifications are the most idiotic, stupid, abusive thing ever in the current internet scene.
I work in IT and they cause so many issues. I 100% blame google and anyone else that added this feature to their browser.
Quite like the way that iOS handles it now. The only sites alllowed to request to send notifications are ones you have added to your Home Screen as PWAs
I've done tech support for a few elder relatives, and most of them have a wall of browser notifications to a bunch of random crap, because they say yes to every popup that appears 🤦♂️
It's pretty concerning that their first reaction to a random question is yes....
What's the issue? Are people just randomly accepting notification permission requests all the time? 😲
It's the same mentality as people just pressing "Next" in an installer and wonder why their browser homepage is hijacked or why there are programs that they never installed. People see the "Block" or "Accept" options in the notifications dialog and press Accept without even reading, especially on mobile browsers (Chrome) where it asks you as if it's a system message.
It's tough for me to accept that these poor people still exist haha. I remember back in 2005 or so clearing upwards of 5 toolbars from various relatives' browsers, but not so much since. I suppose notification management is the modern equivalent.
These people will never go away. The people have 16 push messages an hour, are the same people who had 7 IE toolbars, are the same people who had their VCR blinking 12:00, are the same people who couldn't get the channel on their radio, are the same people who (presumably) kept buying snakeoil potions.
These are the people who would rather be annoyed at something than fix it, they're the people who will spend hours living with problems rather than spend 1 hour learning how to resolve it.

Chrome makes it REEEEEALLY easy to accept these permissions now. I run into it a TON helping folks at my job.
They sure are and when you ask them about it, they never remember allowing it.

Like most problems in IT I blame the users for randomly clicking button they don't understand.
Init is part of the specification so it was always going to be added.
But google are the ones that implemented it first and pushed to have it added to the spec
Yeah, because it was needed for PWAs to be viable.
There is no problem if you don't just press random buttons without reading the dialog box. Like OP clearly did.

Fortunately, I have kept this “feature” disabled since it was introduced to browsers.
I don’t know how does it look like, how does it function, and how annoying it is.
Same, I am yet to find a website notification that is actually useful to me.
"Would you like to get notifications abou--"
"Fuck no, I'm only putting up with your website's bs to read this article, and fuck off with your auto play video. Me hitting pause and scrolling down does not mean I want you to make it float on my screen and resume playing."
I suppose I must have at some point lol. Chrome doesn't list it specifically but I did have website notifications on. I guess another solution would be let them finish deleting my account for inactivity 😂
One thing to remember in the future, is that recent versions of Android let you long-press on a notification(or half-drag in some modded OEM versions) and it'll tell you what App sent that notification, and even give you options to disable that specific notification or all notifications from that app in general.

ITT: User complains that he doesn't understand WebApps and bitches at TikTok 🤣.
Though to be fair, the Tiktok should definitely delete the notification subscription from their database if the account is being deleted.
What's a webapp?
A web site that installs some JS in your browser (called a "service worker") that does shit

Tik Tok is so awful it's disheartening that people don't get it.
I hate how awful yet ubiquitous it is. Depending on your demographic, not having it can mean you miss out on a lot of pop culture and sort of get left behind.
I'm probably in the like 2nd most targeted demographic, so all my friends are on TT and all the trending things related to our hobbies are on there. I constantly feel left out because I'm missing 99% of the content. And it's hard because I want to have dumb conversations about pop culture and hobbies with my friends, but I refuse to download it. It makes me so sad. It's very isolating
I dont have TT. I also don't have Snapchat. Therefore, I also don't have friends, or have any clue what is going on in the lives of those around me or the pop culture of my generation.
It is a lonely existence, but I refuse to get either of those apps. People have my number. If they actually cared, they could return my texts.

What do you mean by notification? Is it an email or an android notification?
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.
Here is the answer! Lemmy give you an upvote!
This is Da wae
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…
That shit should be super illegal.
Holy 54 tabs batman!
May as well put my phone's ram to use!
You can always download more RAM.

You should be able to click on the lock, click permissions, and then click reset permissions.
It might be slightly different per browser but that's the jist of it.
Sign up to Anonaddy, instead of giving out your real email addresses use aliases. That way when companies pull this shit you just deactivate the alias.
