How to appeal a TikTok account recommendation notice

Did TikTok tell you that your account is ineligible for recommendation? Review the videos it identifies and, if you think the decision is wrong, appeal from the notice. This route is for a notice about the whole account, not a single video or a drop in views.

Confirm that the notice is about your account

TikTok says that repeatedly posting content that is ineligible for the For You feed can make your account and posts ineligible for that feed and harder to find in search. TikTok may restore the account automatically for good behavior or let you submit an appeal. Do not use low views alone to conclude that this restriction applies to your account.

The account notice appears in your Inbox and Profile. TikTok says you can see which content was flagged and why. Check that the notice refers to your account. If only one post is ineligible, follow the steps to appeal a video that is ineligible for the For You feed.

Review the videos and submit an appeal

Open the same notice using either route in the app:

1. Inbox: tap the notification that says your account is ineligible for recommendation, then tap View more.
2. Profile: tap the Your account isn’t eligible for recommendation notice below your username.

From either route, review the videos TikTok marks as ineligible. If you think your account or those videos are eligible for recommendation, tap Appeal at the top and follow the in-app instructions. Before submitting, make sure you are appealing the account notice, not a notice on another post.

Check what happens next

Submitting records a review request; it does not confirm that TikTok will approve it or that your account will regain a particular position or reach. TikTok may restore the account automatically, but its help page gives no timeframe. Check the notice and the status shown in the app to see whether it has changed.

If you cannot find an account notice in your Inbox or Profile, this process cannot diagnose why your views dropped. Look for an explicit notice before appealing and use only the options shown for your account. See TikTok’s official account recommendation notice help.

If the notice says your account is banned, follow how to appeal that TikTok ban from its notification.
