Had an issue with

TikTok

? Get a real response.

Submitting a complaint to TikTok is done entirely online — there’s no phone support or in-person help.

Here are the main complaint channels:

• In-App Reporting (Fastest):
  Go to Profile > ☰ > Settings and privacy > Report a problem.
  Select a topic that matches your issue — or tap “Chat with us” to speak to support.
  
  
• Online Feedback Form:
  Use TikTok’s “Report a Problem” web form to lodge your complaint. Log in, choose a category, describe your issue, and attach evidence.

• Twitter/X Support:
  Reach out to @TikTokSupport. Many users report quicker responses here — just don’t post personal info publicly.
  ‍

Tip: Always save your ticket/reference number and include dates, screenshots, and a clear outcome request to speed things up.

TikTok users frequently report these issues:

1. Unfair Account Bans or Content Removal
   
   
   • Often caused by false flags or AI moderation.
     
     
   • Fix: Appeal immediately via the app or feedback form. Include a clear explanation and relevant screenshots.
     
     
2. Harassment or Unsafe Content Not Removed
   
   
   • Reports not being actioned or harmful videos remaining live.
     
     
   • Fix: Report the content, block the user, and escalate to eSafety if serious.
     
     
3. Hacked Accounts
   
   
   • Users lose access, or suspicious posts appear.
     
     
   • Fix: Use “Report a Problem > Hacked account,” or email security@tiktok.com. Include proof of ownership.
     
     
4. TikTok Shop Complaints
   
   
   • Missing orders, late shipping, low-quality goods.
     
     
   • Fix: Use the in-app order support tools to request a refund or return. Include screenshots of the order, messages, and delivery status.
     
     
5. Poor Customer Support or No Human Response
   
   
   • Repetitive auto-replies or closed tickets.
     
     
   • Fix: Reply with more detail, escalate via another channel, or tweet to @TikTokSupport.
     
     
6. Other Issues:
   
   
   • “Shadowbanning” (low visibility), muted videos (copyright), live streaming blocks.
     
     
   • Fix: Appeal where applicable and review community guidelines.
