Shadowban = TikTok silently limits your reach. Here's the fix.
Signs You're Shadowbanned
- Views stuck under 100 despite consistent posting
- Videos don't appear under hashtags you used
- Sudden drop after previously good performance
- "Under review" messages on uploads
How to Fix It
- Delete violating content — anything borderline, remove it
- Stop spammy behavior — no mass following, no bot services
- Take 2-3 days off — let the account cool down
- Post original content — no reposts, no watermarks
- Appeal — Settings → Report a Problem → describe the issue
- Switch to Pro account — sometimes resets distribution
Prevention
Follow community guidelines strictly, avoid banned hashtags, don't use automation tools, and never buy fake bot engagement from unreliable sellers.
