Are you recently banned on TikTok?
Here’s the message that you’ll get, “Your account was permanently banned”.
If you’re banned, you’ve most likely violated one or more of TikTok’s community guidelines.
TikTok uses technology and human moderation to monitor content.
They’ll then remove any content that violates their community guidelines.
If you have severe or multiple violations, your account may be banned,
In some cases, TikTok might falsely ban your account.
If that’s the case, you need to send an appeal to TikTok if you think that you’re banned by mistake.
However, if one or more of your videos happen to violate the community guidelines, there is a low chance to get unbanned.
That said, you still can send an appeal.
In this guide, you’ll learn how to get unbanned on TikTok.
How to get unbanned on TikTok
To get unbanned on TikTok, you need to navigate to the “Share your feedback” form.
Then, complete the form, submit it, and wait for a few days for TikTok’s response.
TikTok will respond to you via the email address that you’ve provided.
Hence, make sure to check your inbox for TikTok’s email.
The “Share your feedback” form allows you to share your feedback about your experience with TikTok.
Additionally, you can use the form to report a problem.
The form includes multiple topics that you can choose from including account ban/suspension.
You can then choose a sub-topic that is related to your problem.
Hence, submitting the “Share your feedback” form is the best way to get unbanned on Tiktok.
Here’s how to get unbanned on TikTok:
- Navigate to the “Share your feedback” form
- Fill in your contact information
- Select a topic & describe what happened
1. Navigate to the “Share your feedback” form
The first step is to navigate to the “Share your feedback” form.
The “Share your feedback” form is for sharing your feedback about your experience with TikTok.
It can be also used to report a problem that you’re facing on the app such as an account suspension.
To begin with, navigate to the “Share your feedback” form on your browser: https://www.tiktok.com/legal/report/feedback.
Once you’re on the form, you need to first provide your contact information.
There is a couple of contact information that you need to provide.
This includes your email address and your Tiktok username (optional).
Firstly, enter your email address in the “Email address” field.
Try using the same email address that you’ve used to create your TikTok account.
Secondly, enter your TikTok username in the “Username” field.
For example, if your TikTok username is “followchain”, enter “followchain”.
Entering your TikTok username is optional.
However, it’s best that include it especially since you’re sending an appeal.
2. Fill in your contact information
After you’ve provided your contact information, scroll down the form.
In the middle of the form, you’re required to provide 3 things.
This includes the topic, sub-topic, and a description of your appeal.
Firstly, tap on the “Topic” dropdown box.
After you’ve tapped on the “Topic” dropdown box, you’ll see multiple options.
This includes “General account inquiry”, “Account ban/suspension”, “Report a bug/Feature request”, and more.
Since you’re looking to get unbanned, select the “Account ban/suspension” option.
Secondly, tap on the “Tell us more” dropdown box.
You need to select the sub-topic that is related to your problem in the “Tell us more” dropdown box.
The “Tell us more” dropdown box contains 3 options including “Livestream”, “Banned account (age-related)”, and “Banned account (not age-related)”.
Select the option that is most suitable for your case.
Lastly, you need to describe your problem in the “How can we help?” field.
Here’s an example of a description, “Hi, my TikTok account has been banned by accident. I did not violate any of the community guidelines. Please re-look into this”.
Move on to the final step to learn how to submit the form.
3. Select a topic & describe what happened
Once you’ve provided a description of your problem, scroll down the form.
At the bottom of the form, you’ll see an “Attachments” header.
Under the “Attachments” header, you’ll be able to upload up to 10 screenshots.
This step is optional if you’ve selected the “Banned account (not age-related)” option in the “Tell us more” dropdown box.
However, if you’ve selected either the “Livestream” or the “Banned account (age-related)” option, you need to attach a photo of yourself holding your ID.
This will prove that you’re above the age of 16.
Otherwise, TikTok won’t be able to verify your identity and your account will remain banned.
Lastly, tap on “Submit” to submit the form!
After you’ve submitted the form, you need to wait for a few days for TikTok’s response.
TikTok will respond to you via the email address that you’ve provided.
If successful, TikTok will send you an email stating that your account has been unbanned!
Why is my TikTok account banned?
Your TikTok account is banned because you’ve most likely violated one or more of TikTok’s community guidelines.
Another common reason why your account is banned is that you’re below the age of 16.
If you go live on TikTok under the age of 16, TikTok may ban you from live streaming.
You can recover a banned or suspended TikTok account by filling up the “Share your feedback” form.
How long does a TikTok appeal take?
A TikTok appeal typically takes 1 to 3 business days.
If you’ve submitted the “Share your feedback” form, TikTok will respond to you via the email address that you’ve provided.
In the email, TikTok will update you on the status of your appeal.
In some cases, it can take more than 3 days to hear back from TikTok depending on the complexity of the issue.
Conclusion
To prevent your TikTok account from getting banned, you need to follow TikTok’s community guidelines.
Do not post anything that violates TikTok’s community guidelines or your account will be at risk of suspension.
If you come across content that does, make sure to report it here: https://support.tiktok.com/en/safety-hc/report-a-problem.
TikTok will then review the video and take the appropriate action.
