- Run the TikTok check and copy your results.
- Screenshot every notice, with the date visible.
- Write your appeal with the appeal letter generator.
Step by step
Check Account status
Go to Profile → ☰ menu → Settings and privacy → Account → Account status. Screenshot any violations listed there.
Appeal from the notice
Open the violation or the inbox notification about it and tap Submit an appeal. Keep it short: say which rule you didn't break and why.
Appeal videos not eligible for the For You feed
In each affected video's analytics, open the eligibility notice and appeal from there. Do this for each video.
Use the in-app report if there's no notice
If your For You traffic has collapsed and there's no notice, go to Settings and privacy → Report a problem, pick the closest topic, and attach screenshots of your traffic sources.
If your appeal is rejected
EU users can use TikTok's DSA complaint process and certified out-of-court dispute bodies. See your rights.
- Be specific. Name the post, the date and the rule, and say why it doesn't apply.
- Stay calm. A human may read it. Polite, factual appeals do better than angry ones.
- One issue per appeal. Several problems in one message are hard to process.
- Don't spam appeals. Sending the same appeal over and over can slow things down.
- Don't create a new account to get around a restriction. On most platforms that breaks the rules and makes things worse.
