Why do TikTok Messages Disappear:
TikTok messages disappear due to several reasons, if you’re willing to know the main causes of why the TikTok messages disappear, here are a few of the common causes that you must know:
1. Banned Account
If TikTok has banned your account due to a breach of their policy and guidelines, you won’t be able to find your previous chats and messages.
TikTok has several strict policies regarding posting content and maintaining privacy. Still, if any user violates any of its guidelines and procedures, TikTok immediately warns the user and then bans the account.
Therefore, all your previous data including your chats and messages that you’ve sent and received gets deleted.
Hence, while engaging in different activities on TikTok and posting different content, ensure that you are not violating any of their policies or conditions so that you don’t get your account banned.
2. Chat Deleted
If you’ve deleted the chats on your own you won’t find them on your chatbox anymore. You can delete the chat and messages of your TikTok account manually. But if you’ve accidentally deleted the chats and messages, then you won’t be able to find them and will disappear from your TikTok account.
TikTok has different policies regarding sending messages. Users who are above 16 years are only eligible to use the message feature of TikTok. You can only chat with those users that you’re following.
However, you need to be always careful about deleting chats because once you delete a message or a whole chat from your TikTok account, it disappears, and then you will need to use different methods to try and get them back. Deleting chats accidentally can lead you to lose all your previous messages on TikTok.
3. Registering Account Newly
If you had to register your TikTok account all over again, you won’t be able to find any of your previous chats. TikTok users often face different minor issues in their accounts.
If you’ve previously faced some issues with your account and you had to register your account all over again after taking down your previous account, it’s possible that all the previous data of that account including the chats and messages have disappeared.
If you were banned on TikTok or trying to register an already deleted profile then your old data would not be there.
Registering old accounts newly in TikTok leads to losing previous data and content. But contents on TikTok are easier to recover than messages. But surely you can recover messages too using different tricks and techniques.
4. Other Possible Causes
If you can’t find your old TikTok chats and messages, here are a few other possible causes of this issue.
It can be an issue with the app, which usually gets fixed within a few hours.
If the user of the account is below 16 years of age, he or she won’t have the message feature as TikTok has this new rule where those users can no longer be able to send and receive messages.
Even if you’re using the PC version of TikTok, it won’t show the message tab from there, as the message tab is only available on the app version. Therefore, you can use the TikTok app to see if you still have the old chats or not.
