If you’re having trouble posting or finding the app on your phone, there’s a good chance you are shadowbanned. Here’s how to know for sure.

  1. If you can’t find TikTok on your phone, it might be because someone has shadowbanned it. To see if this is the case, try searching for the app on Google Play or Apple App Store and see if it shows up there. If not, then TikTok may have been shadowbanned by someone who has access to your device.
  2. If you can find TikTok but can’t post anything, that might also be a sign that you are shadowbanned. Try restarting your device and logging in again to see if that helps. If not, then someone may have blocked your account temporarily or permanently.
  3. If you keep getting error messages when trying to post videos or photos, that could also be a sign that you are shadowbanned. Try clearing your cache and cookies on your device and logging in again to see if that helps resolve the issue. Otherwise, someone may have blocked access to certain content on TikTok for specific users (usually celebrities or public figures). ..
