Are you wondering “Why is my TikTok account temporarily or permanently suspended? Do you know what you have done to receive this penalty? In this article, we will guide you on how you can unsuspend your TikTok account.
TikTok is a great platform to show your talent through short videos. Also, you can go live, add cool filters, and make your videos attractive to have a shot at making them viral.
However, you may have intentionally and unintentionally broken the TikTok community guidelines through your video and got your TikTok account suspended. Let’s find out the reasons for the account suspension and what can you do about it.
Why Is My TikTok Account Banned?
Following are the two reasons why your TikTok account is banned.
Content Fault
Quite often, it is the user fault that results in temporary or permanent account suspension.
When you create a TikTok account, you agree to the TikTok terms and conditions. Most of the TikTok users don’t read these terms and accept them during the sign-up process. That’s why they don’t have a clue what went wrong although they are breaking the TikTok terms.
Following are the factors that contribute to the TikTok temporary or permanent account suspension.
- Videos that promote a terrorist organization
- Promoting domestic or criminal violence videos
- Exhibiting weapons on your videos
- Creating and promoting drug-related content
- Creating and sharing graphical animal content such as abuse and slaughter
- Promoting hate speeches against ethnic and religious groups, politicians and political parties, or any other community
- Posting bullying videos of any kind
- Videos of harassing women and child abuse
- Posting and promoting videos of sexual nature
- You are under the TikTok age limit while applying for a TikTok account
TikTok Platform Issue
The other reason why your TikTok account can be blocked is that you might have uploaded a video that the TikTok bots might think of as harmful for the viewers. Although it is not your intent, you may have captured something while shooting your video that is against the TikTok community guidelines.
Therefore, it is a good idea to always go back to your video before posting it and check that the video meets the TikTok guidelines.
What Does Temporarily Suspended Mean?
A temporary TikTok account suspension means that you can not post live videos.
You have to be careful while shooting your live video as it may unintentionally show something that is not suitable for the younger audience. Sometimes, the parents of the younger audience can report your video to TikTok support which results in temporary suspension.
Furthermore, your TikTok account can be suspended due to copyright violations such as playing copyright video or music while going on live.
How Long Will My TikTok Account Be Suspended?
Temporary account suspension is the most common suspension and happens to most TikTok users who have committed a minor offence. The temporary suspension can last up to 24 hours. During that period, you can not go live.
There is another type of suspension where you log in to your TikTok account and you see a message that ” Your Account is currently suspended”. You don’t see your username, your followed or following users, and likes. All of these are replaced by signs.
In this type of suspension, if TikTok thinks that you have done a major offence, you may have to wait for 7 days to get your account back. However, you can post live videos and can even tell your TikTok followers to follow back in the account. Furthermore, if the offence is not that serious, you may get your account back in 24 hours, the same as with the temporary suspension.
How Do I Get My TikTok Account Back?
If you want your TikTok account back, you have to do the following steps one by one.
Launch TikTok App
First, grab your Android phone or iPhone and tap on the TikTok app. Type in your username and password to access the TikTok account panel.
Go To Your Profile Section
Once you have accessed your account panel, tap the “My” icon that is located at the bottom right corner of your Android or iPhone. Tapping the “My” icon will land you on your profile page.
Access Privacy and Settings Menu
Next, you will see three dots on the upper right corner of your screen on your profile page. Go ahead and tap on it so that you enter your TikTok account Privacy & Settings page.
Report Your Problem
On the Privacy & Settings page, tap on the “About” tab and then select “Report a problem”. On that specific page, you will find the most common question asked by the TikTok users to the TikTok support. Go ahead and choose a question that best matches your query and tap on it.
Also, you can give feedback and can report your problem to the concerned TikTok department. However, if the above steps fail to solve your TikTok account suspension issue, you can contact the following emails for a fast reply.
creators@tiktok.com
privacy@tiktok.com
legal@tiktok.com
feedback@tiktok.com
Alternatively, you can tweet TikTok on @tiktokcreators and wait for their response.
If TikTok disables your account while signing up, the only reason for that is you have made a mistake while mentioning your age on the TikTok app signup page. To fix this, you need to make an account on the TikTok website and mention your age correctly there otherwise your account will be disabled permanently. In that case, you have to contact TikTok support to sort out your issue which may or may not work in your favour.
The minimum age limit to join the TikTok community is 13 years and older. Therefore, if you are younger than that, you have to wait until you reach 13 years of age.
Conclusion
We hope that this article helped you figure out the common reasons for your TikTok account suspension issues. Sometimes, contacting TikTok support and reporting the account suspension problem to them can be a lengthy process. Therefore, it is best to avoid breaking TikTok community guidelines to keep enjoying making fun videos.
