If you have made sure your account has not been hacked, TikTok may be logging you out for a few other reasons;
Reason 1. Server is down
If Tiktok is experiencing issues with their server, this will cause your app to not be able to operate properly as it will be unable to get a successful connection on your internet connection.
You aren’t blinded if TikTok’s server is down, you can check to see if it is here. This will confirm the issue lies with TikTok, and you cannot do anything to fix this problem.
Reason 2. Internet connection
An intermittent internet connection will interfere with Tiktok being able to work properly.
Besides needing to have around 5Mbps to load and play good quality videos, launching the Tiktok app requires a stable internet connection. If this is not the case, the app won’t secure a connection to the server and will therefore time out.
Reason 3. Incorrect login details
If you have accidentally input the wrong information in your profile details, this will cause TikTok to reject your account, for example, if your birthdate is incorrect causing your age to be younger than you actually are. (The minimum age for TikTok is 13).
You can fix this issue by going ‘Report A Problem’ on the TikTok page.
