Overview: 5 Ways to Contact TikTok Customer Support
Here‘s a quick overview of the 5 main options covered in this guide:
- Reach out on TikTok‘s social media accounts
- Use the in-app feedback form
- Email their customer support addresses
- Report content issues through the app
- Submit information requests (law enforcement only)
I‘ll explain each method in detail throughout this article so you know exactly how to get in touch with a real person at TikTok.
Now let‘s look at each contact option one-by-one…
1. Contact TikTok via Social Media
The easiest way to try reaching TikTok support is through their social media accounts on platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.
TikTok has large official brand profiles on these sites that actively respond to user questions and messages:
Facebook – @tiktok (51 million followers)
- This is the largest TikTok social media presence. You can comment on their posts or send a private message.
Twitter – @tiktok_us (980K followers)
- Tweet directly at their Twitter handle or send them a DM.
Instagram – @tiktok (22.4 million followers)
- Comment on their Instagram posts or send them a direct message.
According to TikTok‘s own support site, their social media teams prioritize responding to user questions on these platforms.
So I recommend trying Facebook or Twitter first. While not guaranteed, you may get a response within a few days. And it takes just a few seconds to reach out.
Pro Tip: Check to see if they have social profiles specific to your country like @TikTok_INDIA or @TikTok_BRASIL. Localized accounts may be more responsive.
2. Submit a Feedback Form
Another way to contact TikTok is by using their official feedback form. Here are simple steps to access it:
-
Open TikTok in your mobile or desktop web browser (the form isn‘t available in the app itself).
-
Click on your profile icon.
-
Choose “Report a problem” from the menu.
-
Select “Feedback” as the category.
-
Fill out the details of your inquiry and submit.
The feedback form asks for:
- Email address
- TikTok username
- Topic/category
- Description of your issue
- Up to 10 screenshot attachments
This form goes directly to their customer support team who will follow up on your request via email.
In my experience, this tends to be more effective than social media for non-urgent issues. Support agents are specifically assigned to monitor and respond to feedback submissions.
Key Tip: Use the feedback form for general inquiries, suggestions, or minor account issues. For urgent or serious problems, try email (see next section).
3. Email TikTok Customer Support
For direct support, your best bet is emailing TikTok customer service.
They have different specialized email addresses depending on the type of issue:
-
General inquiries – [email protected]
-
Copyright complaints – [email protected]
-
Traffic and earnings – [email protected]
-
Reporting inappropriate content – [email protected]
-
TikTok Creator Fund – [email protected]
-
TikTok for Business – [email protected]
I recommend using the general inquiries address for most issues like account troubleshooting, bans, or questions about features.
For copyright, monetization, and advertising issues, use the specialized email that matches your specific problem.
Pro Tip: Make sure to include your TikTok username, associated email address and full details of your issue.
You may need to follow up if you don‘t get an initial response within a few business days.
4. Report Content Issues Through the App
What if you want to report offensive videos, comments or accounts to TikTok?
The best way is using the in-app reporting feature.
On any TikTok video, comment, page or profile, you can tap the share arrow or 3-dot menu. Select “Report” to submit a complaint directly to TikTok.
You‘ll be prompted to choose a reason like nudity, harassment, impersonation. Add any extra context to help TikTok assess the issue.
Reporting content doesn‘t directly contact TikTok support. But it alerts them to policy violations and can lead to removal of content that breaks their rules.
So if you need immediate action on inappropriate content, using the report feature is often more effective than customer service emails which can take longer.
Key Tip: Include specific details on why the content violates TikTok policies to help speed up review.
5. Law Enforcement Information Requests
If you are law enforcement seeking user information from TikTok, you can submit an official request via email.
The address to use is [email protected].
Any info requests should come from an official law enforcement email domain and include:
- Background on the case details and offense
- Relevant statutory codes
- List of any related usernames/IDs involved
- Time frame for data requested
TikTok is generally cooperative with valid legal requests. Just be sure to provide full documentation and identifying information.
Pro Tip: Put "Emergency Disclosure Request" in the subject line if it‘s urgent and explain why expedited processing is required.
Summary: How to Contact TikTok Customer Support
Let‘s recap the key options covered to help you contact TikTok support:
- Reach out on their official Facebook, Twitter or Instagram profiles.
- Use the feedback form on TikTok‘s website to submit inquiries.
- Email their customer support addresses – focus on [email protected] for most issues.
- Report inappropriate videos, comments or accounts through the app.
- Law enforcement can request user data via [email protected].
