Did you accidentally report someone on TikTok?
Unfortunately there is no way to undo a report on a profile, video, or comment on the TikTok app.
But don't worry! TikTok will manually review all reports, and if the content is not in violation of their content policy then it will not result in negative consequences for that profile.
A single report will also not affect the user's profile in any way - and there is no way for the user to know who reported their content.
When Should I Report Content?
You should only be reporting content that is in violation of TikTok's community guidelines or terms of service.
This does not include content that you simply find annoying or dislike.
How To Access Your Reported Content
You can access a list of the content that you have reported via the TikTok app after reporting a specific video or profile. However there is currently no way to access this page outside of making a new report.
How To Appeal A Content Violation
If someone has reported your content, you can file a dispute or appeal by following the steps below from the TikTok app:
-
Tap Inbox.
-
Tap the notification of your removed video.
-
Tap Submit an appeal and follow the on screen steps.
Alternatively you can submit an appeal from the video itself.
-
Access the video that was removed.
-
Tap Community Guidelines violation: see details.
-
Tap Submit an appeal and follow the on screen steps.
IMPORTANT: Don't delete a video that is under review, as TikTok will not be able to remove the violation from your account record without proof.
