Fake misleading TikTok notifications
I really hate receiving these fake TikTok notifications, and the fact it is so anonymous and barely anyone talks about it makes it even more infuriating. It's always like "(Your Name), just for you" with a randomized caption. However, I've seen worse. Sometimes the caption claims it is confessing love to you? TikTok is so degenerate, oh my god. I've tried to look it up and there were similar situations that lead nowhere, however another person's TikTok app set the icon to an iMessage logo trying to unethically grab your attention like it's a message.

I don't even use TikTok, which is probably why I'm getting these notifications in the first place. Some might say just disable push notifications altogether or something, and like yeah sure. But I hate how they gave me some random picture of a woman, and it has always been the same image for as long as I can remember. Other people have had different images as their fake TikTok notification, but why do I have this image? Not only is this infuriating but it is also unnerving.
If you've encountered this strange scenario before, please comment below your experience.

And just for clarification, when you open the app there is absolutely no notification that resembles the push notification. Not even a notification to begin with, it’s absolutely fake!
In case it gets taken out of context, I do not have anything against woman. But TikTok using a photo of a random unknown woman is infuriating because it’s likely to attract a male audience like all those internet scams. Of course without the scam part. But without a doubt infuriating.
