Collaborate with a TikTok agency allows you to understand why your views are decreasing and to optimize your strategies to find an engaged audience.

What to do when your TikTok account is banned

To be banned from TikTok is arguably the worst nightmare for content creators. Having your TikTok account banned is a horrible experience for users who often invest a lot in their account. In this article, we're going to explore together why TikTok accounts can get banned and what you can do to get your account back in this situation.

What to do when your TikTok account is banned

Common reasons for TikTok account bans

There are several reasons why Tiktok bans certain accounts. The social network is growing, used by millions of people to share short videos, so Tiktok needs to moderate all that content.

Here are the most common reasons for deleting a TikTok account:

  • Inappropriate content: TikTok does not allow violent, vulgar, pornographic, or hateful content.
  • Violation of the platform's policies: among these policies, Tiktok also prohibits the promotion of drugs, firearms, discrimination, abuse, and nudity. It's important to understand TikTok's policies in order to avoid being banned.
  • Duplicate and plagiarized content: TikTok does not allow the publication of content that has already been published on other platforms, especially if it does not belong to you. However, Tiktok is struggling on this point as can be seen by the many content creators who deplore the resumption of their content without authorization by certain accounts.
  • Illegal content: TikTok does not allow illegal content, including the distribution of sensitive information and threats.
  • Use of prohibited hashtags: TikTok prohibits the use of certain hashtags that may be considered offensive or violent. If you use these hashtags, your account may be banned. These are often hashtags that promote what Tiktok prohibits in its policies.
  • Privacy breaches: TikTok takes privacy violations, such as posting photos or videos of others without permission, very seriously. If your account is accused of posting content that violates the privacy of others, it may be banned.

It is important to understand and take into account these reasons in order to avoid being banned in the future. Carefully reading the terms of use of the platform (which no one usually reads) is really important if you don't want to have unpleasant surprises.

Note that account deletion may be temporary or permanent depending on the severity of the violation.

How do you get your banned TikTok account back?

Step 1: Understand the reasons for account deletion

Before beginning the account recovery process, it is important to understand the reasons that led to the deletion. TikTok can ban an account for all of the reasons we've just seen together.

Step 2: Contact TikTok Support

Once you understand the reasons for the ban, you can contact TikTok support using the contact form on their website. It's important to provide as much detail as possible about the reasons for the account ban, including screenshots or additional evidence, to help support resolve the issue.

To contact TikTok support, launch the TikTok app on your device:

  1. First go to “Profile.”
  2. Go to the “Settings and Privacy” option.
  3. Go to the “Report a problem” tab.
  4. Click on the “Account Recovery” option or any other tab that may meet your request.
  5. Finally, get in touch with support.

Step 3: Try a different contact method

If you don't get a satisfactory response from TikTok support, you can try to contact them via Their Twitter account or by sending an email to their support address. Submit the same details as in step 2, and additional evidence if you have new information.

Step 4: Create a new account

If you are not able to recover your banned account, you can opt to create a new account. Be sure to comply with TikTok's terms of use to avoid having your account deleted again.

Tips to avoid TikTok account deletion in the future

To avoid all the steps of recovering a Tiktok account following the deletion of it, we have listed all our advice for you:

  • Respect the TikTok community guidelines: Make sure you don't post content that is inappropriate, hateful, offensive, or harmful. This seems logical but it is better to remember it.
  • Avoid automated activities: Accounts that use automation tools may be considered a violation of TikTok's terms of service.
  • Be careful with popular hashtags: Misusing popular hashtags can result in your account being deleted.
  • Keep your account up to date and be active: Make sure you don't leave your account inactive for too long.
  • Avoid posting content that is protected by copyright.
  • Be authentic: Avoid posting content that is false or misleading. Accounts that post fake content may be banned.

By following all these tips, you increase your chances of never getting banned by Tiktok.

In conclusion, we can say that losing a TikTok account can be extremely disappointing. Luckily, there are steps you can take in an attempt to get it back. But before you get there, understanding the reasons for bans and following the advice in this article will allow you to minimize the risks of account deletion.
