What does it mean when TikTok says you are visiting our service too frequently?
When TikTok says “You are visiting our service too frequently”, it means that your IP address is blocked.
This is either because you signed up for too many accounts at once, you logged in and out of the app too fast, or you’re using an emulator.
If you didn’t do any of the above actions, that means that you’re receiving the error by mistake.
Even so, you have to go through the same process to fix it.
The error message is TikTok’s way of telling you to leave the app.
If you’re using an emulator (e.g. BlueStacks), TikTok will be able to detect it and block you from signing up/logging in to the platform.
This is to prevent spammers from accessing the app.
How to fix “You are visiting our service too frequently” on TikTok
To fix the “You are visiting our service too frequently” error on TikTok, you can either try switching your network, connecting to a VPN or using TikTok on a desktop.
The error is a block on your IP address.
This means that you won’t be able to access TikTok on your current network.
In order to get rid of your error message, you need to change your IP address.
Once you changed your IP address, you should be able to sign up/login to TikTok again as the error message will be lifted.
Otherwise, you won’t be able to sign up/login to the app.
Here are all the methods that you can use to fix the error:
Method #1: Switch your network
Switch to local data if you’re connected to Wi-Fi, and vice-versa.
Alternatively, you can try connecting to a different Wi-Fi.
The first method is to switch your network.
The “You are visiting our service too frequently” is caused because your IP address is blocked by TikTok.
So, switching your network can lift the error because your IP address will change.
If you’re connected to Wi-Fi, turn it off and switch to local data.
For iOS devices, swipe up your home page and tap on the Wi-Fi symbol to disconnect from it.
For Android devices, swipe down your home page instead.
On the contrary, if you’re using local data, try connecting to the nearest Wi-Fi.
In the event that you don’t have local data, you can either try connecting to another Wi-Fi or a personal hotspot.
After you’ve switched your network, open the TikTok app and try signing up/logging in again.
This time, the “You are visiting our service too frequently” error should be gone.
A Reddit user mentioned that they managed to fix the error by connecting to a different Wi-Fi, so you can try that as well.
Method #2: Connect to a VPN
Download and connect to a VPN if you’re not using one.
If you’re already connected to a VPN, try disconnecting from it and connecting to another one.
The second method is to connect to a Virtual Private Network (VPN).
A VPN masks your IP address, which means that TikTok won’t be able to tell your main IP address.
As you’re on a new IP address, the “You are visiting our service too frequently” error will be fixed.
If you’re already on a VPN, you can try disconnecting from it.
Then, connect to a Wi-Fi or use your local data.
Alternatively, you can try connecting to another VPN.
If you’re not on a VPN, you need to install one on your device.
Search for “Free VPN” on the App Store/Google Play Store and download one of the apps.
Then, connect to a VPN by tapping on “Tap to connect”.
After that, open TikTok and sign up for a new account/login to your existing account.
You should not encounter any error message after doing so.
Method #3: Use TikTok on a desktop
If you are unable to sign up for a new account on the TikTok app, try doing it on a desktop instead.
The final method to fix the “You are visiting our service too frequently” error on TikTok is to use TikTok on a desktop.
If you’re having trouble with signing up for an account, you can try doing so on a desktop.
Similar to the TikTok app, you can create a new account for TikTok on the web.
Here’s a step-by-step guide on how you can do this:
- Go tiktok.com on your computer.
- Click on “Login” on the right corner of your screen.
- Login to TikTok via one of the platforms or click on “Sign up” to create a new account.
After you’ve created a new account, log in to TikTok.
If you already have an existing account, log in to TikTok via it (e.g. Facebook).
This time, the “You are visiting our service too frequently” error should be fixed, and you should have no trouble signing up/logging in.
How to prevent “You are visiting our service too frequently” on TikTok
| Dos | Don’ts |
| Log in and out normally | Log in and out too fast |
| Create a maximum of one account daily | Create multiple accounts at one go |
| Use TikTok on the app/desktop | Use an emulator |
To prevent “You are visiting our service too frequently” on TikTok, you have to stop logging in and out of TikTok too fast, stop signing up for too many accounts, and stop using an emulator.
If you’re logging in and out of TikTok too fast, your IP address will be blocked for spam.
Similarly, your IP address will be blocked if you create too many accounts at one go.
Lastly, stop using an emulator to access TikTok as they will be able to detect it.
If you haven’t done any of the actions above, then you’re getting the error by mistake.
If that’s the case, the only prevention is to not connect to the network with the blocked IP address.
Why can I not sign up for TikTok?
You can’t sign up for TikTok either because you’re underage, or your IP address is blocked.
If you’re underage, you won’t be able to use TikTok until you’re thirteen years old.
Before signing up, make sure to set your date of birth to thirteen and above.
On the other hand, if your IP address is blocked, you need to change it before signing up.
You can do so by switching your network (e.g. Wi-Fi to local data, and vice-versa).
Conclusion
It’s important to take the necessary measures to prevent the “You are visiting our service too frequently” error from ever happening again on TikTok.
When you get the error, it means that your IP address is blocked.
In order to fix it, you have to use the 3 methods that are mentioned in this article.
Unfortunately, even if you got the error by mistake, you have to take manual action to fix it.
Simply waiting it out will not always work.
At the end of the day, TikTok aims to mitigate spam on their platform, and the “You are visiting our service too frequently” error is one of their measures.
