A shadowban is TikTok quietly limiting how far your videos travel. Nothing warns you when it happens. Your videos just stop landing on the For You page, views fall off a cliff, and comments dry up while your follower count sits still. TikTok's own term for it is "ineligible for the For You feed", and the app won't announce it unless a specific video was flagged.
Our checker reads the public signals: your profile, how your recent videos have performed relative to your follower count, and whether the pattern matches what suppressed accounts typically show. You get a shadowban risk rating (low, medium, or high) and an engagement score on screen, plus a more detailed breakdown sent to your email. It only needs your username. No login, no password, nothing installed.
One honest caveat: nobody outside TikTok can see its internal moderation flags, so no checker on the internet can give you a certified yes or no. What the public signals can tell you is whether your account looks suppressed right now, and in practice that's what you need to know before deciding whether to clean up your content or just keep posting.
Type your TikTok handle into the box above and add the email address where you want the full report. No password, no login, and we never ask for access to your account.
We pull your public profile and recent video stats, then compare the numbers against what an account your size normally gets. Suppressed accounts leave a recognizable pattern in that data.
A few seconds later you'll see your shadowban risk and engagement score on screen, and the detailed report lands in your inbox. Free, no downloads, and you can re-check as often as you like.
Most people only realize they're shadowbanned after two or three weeks of dead videos. On TikTok that matters, because the algorithm reads a run of low-view posts as a signal in itself. The earlier you spot suppression, the earlier you can pull the flagged video and stop the slide.
The manual method is posting a video with a made-up hashtag, then getting someone who doesn't follow you to search for it from their account. It works, but it takes a second person, a test post, and a day of watching analytics. This does the equivalent read in a few seconds.
Low views aren't always a shadowban. Sometimes a video just didn't land, or you posted at a dead hour. Checking your status first tells you which problem you actually have: if the account is clean, the fix is your content, not a guidelines cleanup and a three-day break.
The checker reads publicly visible data only. It never asks for your password, never logs into your account, and TikTok has no way of knowing you ran a check. Run it once or run it every day while you recover from a ban; it makes no difference to your account.
No single symptom proves a TikTok shadowban, but the pattern is hard to miss once you know it. If three or more of these describe your account right now, run the checker above.
TikTok tests most new videos on a small batch of viewers before deciding whether to push them wider. Shadowbanned videos never get past that first batch, so an account that used to pull thousands of views suddenly stalls at a couple hundred, every single post.
Open a recent video's analytics and look at traffic sources. Healthy accounts get most views from the For You page; a shadowbanned account's For You share drops to almost nothing, with the leftovers coming from your Following feed and profile visits.
Search your own username from a logged-out browser or a friend's phone. If your profile or recent videos don't come up, and your posts are missing from hashtag pages you've used, that's one of the clearest shadowban tells there is.
New followers on TikTok come almost entirely from the For You page. Cut that off and growth doesn't slow, it stops. If you're posting on schedule and gaining literally zero followers for days, something is blocking discovery.
Scroll your recent likes and comments. If every name is someone who already follows you, nobody new is seeing the content. Healthy videos always pick up at least some stray engagement from strangers.
A community guidelines warning, a removed video, or a "video ineligible for the For You feed" notice in your inbox very often comes right before, or together with, wider suppression of the whole account.
If the checker comes back medium or high risk, here's the sequence that lifts most TikTok shadowbans. None of it is exotic; the hard part is actually pausing.
Check your inbox and account status for violation notices, then delete the videos they point at. Also remove anything using a sound or hashtag TikTok has restricted, since those can hold a ban in place even after the original strike.
Stop posting, liking, and commenting for 48-72 hours, and disconnect any third-party apps or schedulers while you're at it. Automated-looking activity is one of the most common triggers, and the pause lets the flag age out.
When you return, post original videos with safe, relevant hashtags and watch your For You traffic share recover in analytics. If a specific video was removed unfairly, appeal it from the notification; a successful appeal removes the strike behind the ban.
How long does a TikTok shadowban last? Most run somewhere between 24 hours and 2 weeks. Serious or repeated violations can stretch to 30 days or more. The single biggest factor in how fast you recover is how quickly you remove whatever triggered it.
