If you need to contact somebody at TikTok for support or other inquiries, you have several options. TikTok's contact information isn't the easiest to find on their website, so we've compiled this helpful list of every way you can get a hold of somebody at TikTok. We'll show you how to contact TikTok using Twitter, web-based forms, and even email regarding account problems, legal issues, abuse, media inquiries, and much more.

Things You Should Know

The easiest way to reach TikTok Support is on Twitter. Tweet @TikTokSupport or send a direct message with your concern.
To submit feedback, report bugs, or address a ban or suspension, use the feedback form at https://www.tiktok.com/legal/report/feedback.
Report problematic users and videos directly in the TikTok app. Just tap and hold a video (or tap the three-dots on a profile) and select "Report."

1

Contact TikTok on Twitter for support.

TikTok's official support team is reachable on Twitter. If you're looking for technical support or customer service, you can send a direct message to @TikTokSupport and describe your issue. The support team is available 7 days a week between 8 AM and 5 PM PST, and they do reply to messages.^{[1]

Use the feedback form for account questions and issues.

TikTok's feedback form is another official way to contact TikTok. You can use the feedback form if your account was suspended or banned, bug reports, feature requests, Effect House help, TikTok Shopping and Business, Creator Fund, TikTok on TV, and more. You'll find the form at https://www.tiktok.com/legal/report/feedback.

3

Send TikTok an email (in some situations).

While there's no guarantee you'll get a response, you can send an email to TikTok. TikTok no longer lists most of their contact email addresses on their website, but some addresses do appear on their Facebook and Twitter account profiles, as well as on the Creator Marketplace website. If you write to any of these addresses for a reason other than its intended purpose, you probably won't get a response.
- Feedback, suggestions, and general questions: feedback@tiktok.com
- Media and PR: pr@tiktok.com
- Report Tik-Tok related phishing attempts and website: reports@tiktok.com
- Creator Marketplace support in the United States and Canada: creator-marketplace-support@tiktok.com
- Creator Marketplace support in Europe: eu-creator-marketplace@tiktok.com
- Creator Marketplace support in India: TCM_IN@tiktok.com
- Creator Marketplace support in Japan: TCM-JP@tiktok.com

Report abusive users, videos, and other content.

If you find content that's abusive or otherwise violates TikTok's policies, report it. When you report a user, comment, video, sound, or other content in the app, you can type your own feedback and include your email address. TikTok may not send you a direct reply, but they will definitely review your report. To report:
- A TikTok user: Go the person's profile, tap the three-dot icon, and then tap Report.
- A TikTok video: Tap and hold the video and select Report.^{[2]

Report other problems with the TikTok app.

If you're having trouble with any features of TikTok, you can report the issue in the app. TikTok's support system will try to guide you through troubleshooting. If their steps don't work, you'll be able to type your own explanation of the issue and send it to TikTok.^{[4]

If a TikTok user shared content that violates your intellectual property rights, report it to TikTok. There are two separate forms—one for copyright infringement, and one for trademark infringement.^{[5]

Respond to a copyright infringement notification.

Send an email to ByteDance.

ByteDance, the parent company of TikTok, is reachable via email. While ByteDance wont provide support for or handle issues related to the TikTok platform, you can contact them through email for media inquiries, jobs, placing ads, and software development for businesses.^{[6]

If you're a law enforcement official, you can request user info.
