Question

My daughter has been unable to log onto her account, as it is showing as no account. Her sister has checked from her account, and there is no longer a profile or any posts. Any advice?

Community Answer

TikTok may have deleted her account (you can contact them to ascertain this), in which case your daughter will need to start a new one.

Question

My account has gotten permanently banned due to multiple violations of the guidelines, yet I didn’t do anything bad. If I did by accident, it would only be one violation. How do I tell what I did?

If you were banned from TikTok, you would have an appeal option. You go into the app, log in with your account, and submit your appeal from the "Notifications" tab. If, after review, TikTok determines that you did violate community guidelines or their terms of use, then you will be logged out and your account will be deleted permanently. Otherwise, your account will be restored.
