If your TikTok account has been banned and you are wondering how to get it unbanned, then this guide is for you. We'll put everything you need to know to fix the issue below.
Like any other social media platform, TikTok also has its own policies and rules to make sure the platform remains a safe and fun space for all users. If you consistently violate community guidelines, then you will be banned from the platform.
In case you have been permanently banned or shadowbanned on TikTok for any reason or no reason at all, then you can reach out to TikTok support to get your account reinstated.
We will discuss the process of getting your account unbanned in this post.
How To Get Your TikTok Account Unbanned
If your account has been banned, you will receive a banner notification when you next open the app, informing you of this account change. If you think your account was banned incorrectly, you can let TikTok know by submitting an appeal.
Here is how to get your TikTok account unbanned:
- First, open the notification.
- Tap Appeal.
- Follow the instructions provided.
After that, you will need to wait for TikTok to review your appeal and reply. Usually, it takes one to five business days for TikTok to respond to your appeal. If TikTok agrees with your appeal, your account will be restored.
Why Is My TikTok Account Permanently Banned?
As mentioned earlier, if you repeatedly violate TikTok community guidelines, your account will be banned from TikTok. You can be banned from TikTok for posting content that promotes bullying, drugs, alcohol, nudity, or sexual content in any form.
TikTok will send a warning in the app the first time you violate the community guidelines. After your first violation, you may be temporarily banned for a period of time (typically between 24 hours or up to one week), depending on the severity of the violation and previous violations. After several violations, your account may be permanently banned.
In the case of a temporary ban, you can wait until the suspension expires. You will not be able to upload a video, comment, edit your profile, or message on TikTok during this period.
How Do I Get My Permanently Banned TikTok Account Back?
Violating TikTok community guidelines multiple times will result in a permanent account ban. If you have been permanently banned from the TikTok app, you can try to get your account unbanned. However, it is highly unlikely that your account will be unbanned.
When your account has been permanently banned, you will receive a banner notification when you next open the app, informing you of the ban. And if you think your account was banned incorrectly, you can let TikTok know by submitting an appeal.
Here is how to get your permanently banned TikTok account back:
- First, open the notification.
- Tap Appeal.
- Follow the instructions provided.
It is one way to get your permanently banned TikTok account back. You will then have to wait for TikTok to review your appeal and respond. The chances of getting your account back are slim, but it’s worth a shot.
In case you didn't get your account back, you can either choose to watch TikTok without the app (without an account - on a PC) or create a new account. As part of permanent banning, TikTok may also block your device, which will prevent you from registering on the platform in the future.
So, if you are looking to create a new account on TikTok, you need to do it from another device.
