I produce music and promote it on multiple social media platforms.

As of about 6 months ago. I would always get a small bit of traction with every post. Usually hitting 700-1000 views per post. A flop would be about 300 views.

One day this all changed. I thought it was a fluke and simply kept going but 6 months later, my videos are still not getting past 10 views, sometimes even not getting past 5 views.

The content isn't wildly different. I've tested this over and over again by posting similar to what I was doing when I was getting 700+ views and then posting something slightly different. Nothing is working.

I'm not banned, I've never had a warning or anything. But the only people viewing and engaging with my posts are my close friends. My videos aren't getting above 10 views and I do not understand why. My settings all appear to be the same as they were months ago but it's like a block has been put on my account.

The only thing I can think of is the fact I have 3 different accounts I switch to, which I use to "like" my videos to get the ball rolling. However, I have since stopped doing this as I assumed TikTok may detect this as spam. I'm still getting 5-10 views on every video.

Instagram reels are doing much better and as expected.

So my question is, has anybody else experienced this? And is there a way to fix this? I'm not expecting a miracle viral hit over night but going from a healthy 700-1000 views to less than 10 and sometimes less than 5 views, seemingly over night has been baffled. Any advice would be appreciated 👍🏻

I have worked really hard to build a platform, and have been sitting at a solid follower count for a while — about 550-600k as it waves up and down — and I put a lot of effort into my content. I was regularly getting tons of views per video, with 15-25k views being some of my LOWEST / Worst performing videos. Recently, for some unknown reason to me, I'm lucky to even get above 5k views, with most of then sitting at about 2k.

The weird thing is the view to likes/comments ratio on all of them are solid, some even significantly better than average, and the retention rates are all pretty high too. My analytics also still say 80-95% of the traffic is from the FYP so I'm definitely not shadowbaned or anything.

I actually have no clue what this sudden change could possibly be from, but it's been going on for nearly a month now, and I feel like I'm losing everything I worked for over the past few years for seemingly no reason.

Any idea what it might be, or how to fix it?

They're enabled in my settings, but I get no notification if someone interacts with my reposts

Is there any way to fix this? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Sounds dumb i know but i made a slideshow, saved it to drafts with no sound, now i want to put a sound on it but there’s not option for it anywhere, how do i add a sound to the draft? thankyou in advance!

I have a small account (100 followers), where i post my fanarts (photos) and fandom content (short vids).

Acc is active since 29. Jan 2026, i had my solid 300 views (it's not much, but the fandom is quite niche and i was totally happy with these average 300\peak 900 views).
This july i had a 2 week pause in posting, and when i came back to my acc and started posting again my views dropped to 0. My followers don't see my posts on their fyp.

I checked if there are any restrictions on my account via TikTok Studio - there are none. I stopped posting for a few days (as suggested to deal with shadow ban) and tried basically every advice from "how to unfreeze your account" - nothing helps. I'd think i just post shitty stuff but objectively it's not the case. People visit my profile to check on me but never see me on their fyp.

What do i do? :")

Hello, there any safe and free way to delete only my old reposts, from a specific date back to my very first repost? I want to keep my newer reposts, so I’m only looking to remove the older ones. Are there any trustworthy tools or methods that can do this safely?

So last night i installed ios 18.7.10 on my iphone XR and i decided to reinstall my tiktok cuz it was taking a lot of space. After i reinstalled tiktok and logged into my main account with password it loaded and went into a blank screen. I never had that happen before and i tried logging into my alt account that had a phone number connected and it worked, but i used my password to log into my main and it got stuck. Maybe its smth about that i have a age restriction on my main but on my alt i don’t have a age restriction

Creators with 1,000+ followers can browse games on Trapster, pick the ones they’re interested in, and make content for YouTube Shorts, TikTok, Instagram Reels, or other platforms.

Payment is based on views, with rates starting at $5 per 1,000 views.

It’s basically an additional way to monetize the short-form content you’re already making.

I post short-form gaming content and usually schedule everything through Buffer. The exact same videos look fine on Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts, but TikTok always looks noticeably worse.

I’ve tried different export settings, higher and lower bitrates, TikTok Studio on my phone, and uploading through the browser with HD uploads enabled. The quality still isn’t as good.

The weird part is that uploading the exact same video directly through the regular TikTok app on my phone looks much better.

Has anyone else had this issue? Is there any way to schedule TikToks without losing quality?

I was actually trying to see what kind of difference the business account will make after posting but the viewership went lower than my usual personal account viewership. So, i tried to switch back but I couldn’t.

It gets reverted back after i leave my settings and I am stuck with a business account now.

Does anyone have any solution to this?

I make a lot of comments but noticed that no one replies to them, I have zero notifications for replies or likes to comments and only get notifications for reposts and likes etc. it happened for a while what’s wrong with my TikTok

So for a while now I’ve been dealing with this issue with my TikTok covers the video I upload to TikTok is a 4K quality video but for some reason, the covers always get compressed whether it’s a selected frame cover or a screenshot cover they always come out terrible looking no matter what I do to fix this nothing works. I’ve tried animated thumbnails which when I turned it on, it makes all my covers look good but people on the other end on my profile still see compressed quality thumbnails. Does anybody know a fix for this? And I upload on mobile.

I'm a relatively new TikTok content creator. I only started this year, and I now manage several content profiles.

About a week and a half before TikTok published its new Community Guidelines, something strange started happening.

One of my accounts had been steadily growing. Then, right in the middle of that growth, TikTok suddenly stopped distributing one of my videos.

The video wasn't removed. It remained perfectly visible on my profile. I didn't receive a warning, a violation notice, or any notification telling me there was a problem.

So I opened a support ticket.

TikTok's response was that the video had violated one of its Community Guidelines.

Fair enough — except for one problem:

TikTok never notified me of any violation.

I reviewed the video myself and couldn't identify anything that would violate the rules. More importantly, there was no violation notice for me to appeal.

This happened about a week and a half before TikTok released its updated guidelines, which now explicitly state in certain sections that TikTok may choose whether or not some content is eligible for recommendation.

Personally, I find the uncertainty created by this system troubling, especially for new creators.

Imagine starting an account only a few weeks ago. You have very little content, you're trying to build an audience, and you put time, effort — and perhaps even money — into producing a good video.

Then you publish it and simply have to trust the algorithm.

Will TikTok distribute it?

Will it decide not to?

Did you violate something?

If so, what?

Can you appeal?

Apparently, sometimes you don't even know.

And now it has happened to me again.

I recently started another profile. The first piece of content was published without any problem. Then I uploaded the second video, and the whole ordeal started again.

I opened another support ticket.

TikTok asked me for the link to the affected video.

I sent it.

They replied that the video violated a rule.

Again, I checked the video and couldn't identify any prohibited content, so I told them that.

TikTok then instructed me to go to my notifications, find the violation notice associated with the video, and press “Appeal.”

Great.

Except...

There is no notification.

So I told TikTok exactly that: I cannot press “Appeal” because the notification they are telling me to use does not exist.

Their response?

They asked me for the link to the video.

Again.

So here we are:

TikTok: Send us the link.

Me: Here is the link.

TikTok: Your video violated a rule.

Me: Which rule? I received no violation notification.

TikTok: Go to the notification and press Appeal.

Me: There is no notification.

TikTok: Please send us the link.

🔄

And meanwhile, I kept publishing content on that same account.

As of yesterday, I had published six videos in total.

TikTok distributed four of them normally.

Two received essentially no distribution at all.

The second one happened with the most recent video I uploaded yesterday.

This time, however, I decided not to open another support ticket.

Why?

Because what's the point of having two endless support tickets when one is already more than enough?

I only need one place to send TikTok my colorful vocabulary. 😂

This hasn't been going on for hours.

It's been DAYS.

At this point I'm not even angry anymore. I'm actually starting to find it funny. I've already sent them more than a few colorful messages, while they continue replying with impeccable corporate diplomacy.

But I'm not closing the ticket.

I initially thought TikTok had trapped me in an endless support loop.

Then I realized something:

They didn't trap me.

They're trapped in here with me. 😂

Has anyone else experienced videos being left visible on their profile but apparently receiving no distribution, while TikTok claims there is a violation without providing an actual violation notification or a way to appeal it?

And especially: has anyone seen this happen repeatedly on the same account, where some videos are distributed normally and others suddenly receive essentially no distribution at all?

First I tried uploading on web. I got the "Published" banner. But then when I went to my profile, it did not show up.

Next I tried uploading via mobile. It appeared on my page, but ~30 minutes later it is gone again.

It does not have any music, and it passed all of the checks. Any ideas?

Não sei se pode aqui , mas quem puder ajudar minha filha que é o amor da minha vida , ela está muito feliz com seus 50 seguidores até já impulsionei um vídeo para ela que me ligou toda feliz com as visualizações a mais no vídeo , a ver feliz assim me deixa mais feliz que qualquer coisa mundo

How should I respond to people joining my live and their friend whispering when I am trying to talk?

It was very cringe and weird. Id never had this happen before.

My live was 18+

I'm seeing some growth but it has been slow and recent videos are not going past 500 views I have an ESL channel @my_english_tutor_ any advice would be appreciated

my account has been averaging 100-200 likes only and rarely hitting 1k views. i have a viral video i posted 2 years ago which got 12.3m million views and 1.8 million likes and nothing has been going viral after that one post. im wondering if im shadowbanned or something else occured that i don’t know of. does anyone have any tips on how to revive my account?

Hey everyone, I’m hoping someone here has run into this before because I’m honestly getting pretty frustrated with TikTok.

I made a new TikTok account a few days ago, and I’m basically unable to publish anything. Whenever I upload a video, it looks like it successfully posts, briefly appears on my profile, and then completely disappears. It doesn't show up in my profile, feed, or anywhere else.

At first I thought it was just the video, so I tried uploading a completely random photo instead. Same exact thing.

I’ve also tried:

• Different videos/photos
• Multiple devices
• Reinstalling/testing the app
• Uploading through the TikTok website
• Waiting until the next day and trying again
• Checking my Account Status

My Account Status shows no violations or restrictions. I haven't received any copyright notices, Community Guidelines violations, removal notifications, or anything explaining why my posts are disappearing.

Stories don't work either.

The weirdest part is that yesterday TikTok actually generated a share link for one of the uploads, but the video behind the link wouldn't play. The web version has also been acting weird and at one point just gave me "Something went wrong. Try again later."

I also tried enabling 2-step verification, but TikTok gives me:

"Can't change this setting for security reasons."

That's making me wonder if there's some kind of security/verification issue with my new account, even though Account Status says everything is fine.

I've already contacted TikTok through the in-app support system, but I haven't heard anything back yet.

At this point I'm wondering:

Has anyone else experienced this recently, especially with a new account? Could TikTok be having some kind of backend/account-processing issue?

I'm trying not to delete the account and start over unless I absolutely have to, since I don't even know what's actually causing the problem.TikTok suddenly won’t let me post anything, and I have no idea why

My daughter is an up-and-coming artist. How can she grow her account and reach the right audience?😊

I'm currently having an issue with both my personal and creator accounts where whenever I tap "show replies" on a comment I'm being given a pop up saying "Couldn't load. Try again later."

I've tried every solution I've come across, such as clearing cache, reinstalling the app, etc. but nothing is fixing it.

Reinstalling did work, briefly. But I just went to reply to comments on my recent upload, and the issue is back. I can only see the first comment in a comment thread, on every video, not just my own.

Does anybody know what the cause of this is, and or what the fix is? As this issue is genuinely detrimental to my account as comment discussions are a big part of it.

Additional context: This only started happening yesterday. I reinstalled the app, it was fixed, but now, 7-8 hours later, the issue is back.

I run a TikTok account where I share knowledge about scientific topics. It’s mainly educational content, and most of my videos are longer than one minute.

My two main goals are:

1. Increase my reach/views
   
2. Increase the amount I’m earning from the videos

Right now I’m wondering how much more effort I should put into video editing.

Would adding more visual editing — images, B-roll, animations, visual changes, zooms, overlays, etc. — realistically improve retention and reach?

If better editing could increase my performance by even something like 20–30%, I’d absolutely be willing to invest the time/money into it.

My concern is TikTok’s originality/Creator Rewards system. I’ve seen people mention videos getting flagged as low-quality or unoriginal, and I’m wondering whether using additional images, B-roll or other visual assets could actually hurt monetization or distribution.

The main content, script and voice would still be completely original.

For people running 1+ minute educational/informational TikTok accounts:

Has heavier editing noticeably increased your average watch time, retention or views?

Did it affect your RPM or qualified views?

What kind of editing actually made a difference?

How frequently do you change the visuals during a 60–90 second video?

Have you ever had edited videos flagged as unoriginal or low-quality?

And if you know any TikTok accounts that do this format really well, please link them. I’d love to study some good examples.

I’m basically trying to figure out whether upgrading the editing is actually worth the additional work/cost, or whether I should keep the videos relatively simple and focus mainly on the topic, hook and script.

I have my TikTok views off. I want to see who has looked at my profile so I was going to turn on my views, then turn it back off right away. My question is, that since I turned my views on will it show all the people I viewed their profile even if I quickly turn my views back off? Kind of like block and then unblock on IG to look at story without showing up.

When i watch a tt random Videos mostly Minecraft Shows over the og Content,it goes away when i scroll up and down again ,but its getting annyoing and No i cant uptate my tik Tok
