How to know if your TikTok account is shadowbanned?

Unlike other social media platforms, TikTok often takes a long time to notify users when their accounts are banned. Fortunately, there are some signs that can be checked to verify whether your account has been penalized or not.

If you suspect your TikTok account has been banned but can’t find any reports confirming it, keep reading. Below, we will guide you on what you need to do to verify the status of your account.

So, can you tell if your TikTok account has been banned?

Before walking through the steps you need to take to find out this information, it is essential that you are aware of the rules you must abide by on TikTok to avoid being banned. If you disregard TikTok rules when commenting or uploading videos, the mentioned social media platform will show no mercy in applying penalties against you.

Now, take the following steps to check if your TikTok account is banned or not:

The first thing you need to do is open the TikTok application.

Once inside the video platform, you need to access the section called “Inbox.”

Here, you will have to tap on the option that says “All Activity” (located at the top-middle of the screen).

A menu will appear with several options. Choose the one that says “From TikTok.”

Within a few seconds, you will be able to find out if TikTok has banned your account or not (through a notification).

If there are no notifications from TikTok in the section, your account should not be banned. Similarly, there are some signs that may indicate that your TikTok account is about to be penalized:

• Your video views have decreased by 50%.
• No one has followed your account for 7 days.
• All the videos you upload are subject to review.
• Your comments have not received any “Likes.”

How to access your TikTok account after it has been banned

If your account has been banned, you can still log in to your account to file a complaint and download personal data. Please note that according to current laws and data retention policy, TikTok will delete your data after a certain period. Therefore, once deleted, your account will no longer be accessible.
