And whatever you're texting, and your geolocation, and your contacts, and anything else they want off your device.

If you choose to share that information, and your statement is highly inaccurate. Tiktok does not have access to any of that stuff by default and you have to explicitly allow it access. They also do not have access to 'whatever they want'. IOS and Android both use a containerized model and API to only allow access to approved APIs and only explicitly grant the permission.
