Odd issue regarding shadow ban.

[craneblack]

So recently my entire iPhone seems to be shadow banned, and by this I mean not being able to follow/like any accounts. I cannot even create new accounts, if I create new accounts from PC and log into them, the posts get 0 views. However, I've tested this out on my girlfriend's phone. We are under the same static IP, spam created 3 new accounts, was able to like and follow all I wanted. Posted the same exact content as I did on the banned device, and got over 300k+ views on all 3 accounts in the span of a week. Literally the SAME exact content, like a direct repost.

So my question is, what is going on? Would I be able to recreate the same results and bypass this by simply just buying a new device, and purchasing a new phone plan with it? I've tried things like posting from browser, emulators, both with 5G proxies - but I still get the same result. This is quite annoying as my business has been heavily relying on TikTok, with great success. So this is a major setback.

Reset your iPhone to factory settings, it should help for follow/like shadowban
Also 5G will not work, because it's important fix ip leaks

Sadly factory resetting my phone is not an option due to a few different reasons. Would purchasing a new phone + phone plan work as well? Phone plan not even necessary? I'm honestly willing to do whatever it takes just to have TikTok see me as a fresh user again.

Then I suggest to buy phone only for work with TikTok. Factory reseting is helping in 99% cases with TikTok shadowbans. Then of course SIM card from targeted country, 4G proxy with correct usage.
If you targeting to your own country, you may not even need a proxy, but buy some data plan.

Perfect mate. Thank you for confirming, going to try this tomorrow. Cheers

Yeah, you might need to change your device's IMEI and alter such information if you wanna keep using that phone. There should be a method to do that for the iPhone. It should work if factory reset is doing it for you. When you get it to work again, yeah use proxies for your targeted country or none if you're already in the country you target. Best of luck.

I'm not sure if tiktok can access device imei. Maybe Mac address might be available, not sure about this as well

As of data from last year, TikTok actually collects IMEI data as part of its SIM data extraction. That's one of the reasons why it was marked a national security concerns on several counties like the US.
