# Add TikTok accounts (https://clout.wtf/guide/adding-accounts/)



Accounts in Clout Uploader live in **lists** — a thread takes a list and works through it account by account. This page covers creating lists and getting the accounts ready on the device.

## Log accounts in on the iPhone first

Clout Uploader switches between accounts that are **already logged in** to TikTok on the device — it does not perform logins for you in Upload and Warmup modes.

1. Open TikTok on the iPhone
2. Log in to each account you plan to run: profile → account name at the top → **Add account**
3. TikTok natively supports **up to 8 accounts per device** — Clout Uploader operates inside that limit. Need more accounts? Add more iPhones to the fleet.

> **Warning:** If an account is not logged in before the thread starts, the run stops with a "TikTok asks for login" state — see [Troubleshooting](https://clout.wtf/guide/troubleshooting/).

## Create an account list

1. Open **Accounts** in the sidebar
2. Click **Add List**
3. Enter a **name** for the list (e.g., "My Accounts")
4. Enter accounts — one username per line:
   ```
   username1
   username2
   username3
   ```
5. Click **Save**

> **Note:** You can create multiple lists for different projects or account groups. A thread references one list — swapping the list swaps the whole account set.

## How lists are used in a thread

* The thread walks the list top to bottom, switching TikTok to each account in turn
* Usernames must match the TikTok usernames on the device exactly
* One device runs one thread at a time; several devices can each run their own list in parallel

## Next steps

* [Posting schedule and threads](https://clout.wtf/guide/posting-schedule/) — attach the list to a template and schedule
* [Per-account proxy with Stash](https://clout.wtf/guide/stash-proxy-guide/) — give every account in the list its own IP
