TikTok account blocking is a sore subject for many users. This sanction is applied quite often. If you have already been banned, then of course you already know how this happens and how everything looks. But a user who has never encountered this may be wondering "how to understand that TikTok has blocked me." He has already heard about such cases and involuntarily thinks about it..
How to understand
So, if TikTok bans a user, will they notify them? Yes. How to understand that you have been blocked?
Firstly, many users note that after applying a sanction to a profile, it is automatically knocked out of it. That is, go to the application, and you will be greeted with a notification that you have logged out of your profile (although you have not logged out anywhere). This is the first sign that you have been banned.
Further, if you log into your account, you will be greeted with a notification that it is blocked. You won't be able to do anything in it. If you are under permanent blocking, you will also learn about it from the notification..
Separately, it is worth highlighting the shadowban. Social networks deny it, it is not specified in the rules. However, the shadowban exists, including on TikTok. The main symptom is a sharp decrease in the number of views. Previously, you had consistently high views, but recently they have dropped dramatically. This is usually clearly visible on the graph in the statistics. So you've been shadowbanned. The picture below shows what a blocked account looks like.
Blocking periods
How long is the account blocked?
Well, there is no need to talk about eternal blocking, the answer follows from its name. A permanently blocked profile cannot be restored. As a last resort, you can try to challenge the decision of the moderators..
Shadowbans and temporary restrictions last an average of about two weeks. The time limit varies depending on the severity of the violation. How can I find out the exact duration of the sanction? With this question, you can also contact the support of the social network.
