How to Unlock TikTok Account
Follow these steps if you want to find out how to unlock your TikTok account.
TikTok has quickly become the most popular short-term video-sharing app on the web. There are many Community Guidelines users need to follow to remain in good standing. If you’ve accidentally violated a rule, it’s possible to get your account locked, suspended, or banned. This guide will show you how to unlock a TikTok account so you can get it back.
How to Unlock TikTok Account
To unlock a TikTok account:
- Open TikTok on your mobile device.
- Create a brand new TikTok account.
- Tap on three lines in the top right corner.
- Tap on Settings and privacy.
- Scroll down and tap on Report a problem.
- Under Topics, select Account and profile.
- Tap on Login, and select Suspended Account.
- Under ‘Is your problem resolved?’, click on No and tap on the ‘Need more help?‘ button.
- Under ‘Tell us your feedback,’ explain that you would like to get your account unblocked. Be sure to include the blocked username.
- Click on Report.
When you get to the Report a problem section, you can write something like this: “My account @username has been suspended. I would like to get my account back. Can you please send me the details on how I can recover my account?”
The important part here is that you tell TikTok the name of the account that was banned or locked and that you would like to get it back. TikTok support will respond to your message in one to three (or longer) business days.
There you have it; that’s how to unlock your TikTok account if it was banned or locked for any reason. Note that if you repeatedly violate the terms or have a severe violation of the TikTok Community Guidelines, you may not get your account back.
