Why did TikTok delete my account?

So many TikTok users recently reported that their account got deleted without any notifications and any reason. TikToKers are now looking for methods to get their deleted accounts back and to know why this happened to them.

After lots of research, I came to know the reasons why TikTok randomly deleted accounts, and I have brought them to you.

Reasons why TikTok deleted your account

There are two main answers to why TikTok deleted your account, which I’ve brought for you below:

TikTok Is Deleting Accounts after Its $5.7M Compliance Violation

Tiktok was punished by FTC and was forced to pay $5.7M due to violating child privacy laws, and that is why it is randomly deleting lots of accounts which do not qualify with its new restrictions.

After the recent FTC settlement, which has forced TikTok to change their terms in accordance with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act, or COPPA, users who fall under the minimum age requirement will now have to get parental approval for creating an account on TikTok.

So if TikTok suddenly deleted your account, you might be under 13 years old, or you might have entered the wrong birthdate.

You have violated TikTok’s terms of services.

Another reason for an account to get deleted is the violation of terms. That can include things like posting copyrighted content, spam, hate speech, or pornographic videos. I cannot say for sure what was the reason you got your account deleted, but you should see some explanation when you try to log back into the account.

If your TikTok was deleted due to violating TikTok terms of service or misusing the platform, there is no way to get your account back but to check your chance; you can contact TikTok support.

In case your TikTok was deleted because of being underage matter, you will have to verify your true age with a copy of their government ID, and there is a chance that you can get your deleted TikTok account back.
