In 2022, TikTok users have been locked out of their accounts without any warning, which seems to be another problem.
People are having trouble getting to their profiles, and no one really knows what’s going on. And it seems like no matter how hard people try to fix it, nothing changes.
At the time this was written, TikTok hadn’t said anything about the problem. But now users are very worried that this could be because their accounts were banned or were hacked.
Users of TIKTOK can’t get to their profiles
People who can’t get into their TikTok accounts have taken to Twitter to get more people to pay attention to the problem.
They are upset that they can’t get into their own accounts, and there’s not much they can do to fix what seems to be a very annoying problem.
Some people have noticed that the platform is asking them for their birthday, just like we do when we sign up.
Some users are wondering if they accidentally broke one of TikTok’s rules, which could have led to their account getting locked.
Your TikTok account could get locked for more than one reason
Most of the time, this happens when you forget your password or login information.
In some cases, a user’s account can be banned or suspended if they broke the rules of the platform. When people post inappropriate content, use handles that break the rules of the platform, or send spam, they often get banned.
There are also times when someone’s account gets locked if they don’t follow the app’s terms of service. Using different IP addresses or bots to get more views is one way to do this.
If the app doesn’t tell you why your account was locked, you won’t know why.
In the meantime, you could try the normal steps for fixing problems.
USERS ARE NOT SATISFIED
Here are some responses from TikTok users whose accounts were locked without their knowledge.
“Ok, my TikTok account is locked, what do I do?! It won’t even let me log in. “I hope I don’t get hacked again,” one worried person tweeted.
Someone else asked, “I think I’ve been banned from TikTok? All videos are gone. Profile set to private and locked. Can’t follow others or leave comments… wtf?”
“TikTok locked my account without telling me why. I didn’t break any of the service rules (I just posted piano videos). Is there any way you could open it?” asked a second tweet.
