Why is Tiktok not on my Appear on Top list?

[Android Central Question]

I'm on a Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G, running Android 12. I recently gained access to Mobile Gaming on TikTok, but cannot use that feature because when it asks me to allow TikTok to draw over other apps, TikTok is not on the Appear on Top list.

That's correct. It does not appear on the Special Access list for Appear on Top

Hmm, strange. @mustang7757, can you see if TikTok shows up in the Appear on Top list on your Samsung device?

Thanks for checking @mustang7757!
@John The Dude, I couldn't find anything on the web about TikTok mobile gaming. Can you show a link with more info? Maybe it's a regional thing that isn't available on the Samsung phone you have.
