Do you think you were shadowbanned on TikTok?

Shadowbanning is when TikTok censors your content so that only your followers can see it. This is different from being banned, which would mean that your account is completely removed from the app.

There are many reasons why an account gets shadowbanned. It could be because of something you said in a video, or because TikTok thinks you're spamming the app.

Whatever the reason, it's frustrating when you suddenly stop getting views and comments on your videos.

Luckily, if you think you were shadowbanned, there are a few things you can do to try and get unshadowbanned.

1. Check if you're still getting views and engagement

The first thing you should do is check to see if you're still getting views and engagement on your videos. If you are, then it's likely that you weren't shadowbanned.

There are a number of reasons why your views and engagement might have decreased, including algorithm changes or simply not making good content. So don't assume that you've been shadowbanned just because your views have decreased.

2. Try using a different device

2. Try using a different device

If you think you were shadowbanned, try using a different device to see if your content is still being censored. This could be anything from switching from an iPhone to an Android, or from a tablet to a laptop.

Doing so would let you know if it's your account that's been shadowbanned or if it's just your device. If you can see your content on a different device, then it's likely that your account hasn't been shadowbanned and there's probably another reason for your problem.

Another way to check if you've been shadowbanned is to try and search for your account in the app. If you can't find it, then it's likely that you've been shadowbanned.

If you can find it, though, then you're not shadowbanned. Perhaps there's another reason why your videos are no longer getting any engagements.

4. Reach out to TikTok customer support

If you've tried all of these things and you still think you were shadowbanned, the next step is to reach out to TikTok customer support.

They should be able to tell you for sure whether or not you were shadowbanned and, if so, why. In fact, they're the only ones who can tell you why you were shadowbanned in the first place, although, as mentioned above, there are many reasons why it could've happened.

5. Make sure you're following the community guidelines

If you were shadowbanned, it's likely because you violated TikTok's community guidelines in some way.

That's why if you've been unshadowbanned, the best way to avoid being shadowbanned again in the future is to make sure that you're following the guidelines.

TikTok's community guidelines are pretty straightforward. Essentially, they prohibit content that's harmful, offensive, or inappropriate for a younger audience. So if you want to avoid being shadowbanned, make sure your content doesn't violate these guidelines.

Shadowbanning is a serious issue on TikTok, but there are a few things you can do to try and get unshadowbanned. The best way to avoid being shadowbanned in the future is to make sure that you're following TikTok's community guidelines.
