How to fix the issue?
If you are encountering an issue where your TikTok account automatically unfollows people,, we have explained a few ways to help you fix the issue.
Restart the device
Restarting your device is the best solution for any problem, and it also works most of the time in resolving the issues. If the errors are caused by some minor bugs or glitches or interference by other apps on your device, then it might solve them.
Check the server status
TikTok is not processing your follow request because the server is down or under maintenance. Check the server status of TikTok; you can use websites like downdetector.com to check the server status of TikTok. If the server is down, then you can do nothing but wait patiently until it comes online.
Check the internet connection
Your TikTok account is unable to process the request because it is not getting a stable connection. Check your internet connection and restart your modem or router to reset the connection, which might help you get a stable connection by resolving any issues with the router.
Reached your daily follow limit
TikTok has a limit on how many people you can follow, which is 200 accounts daily, and once you reach that limit, you won’t be able to follow any more users. This restriction is mentioned in TikTok’s terms and conditions. If this is the case, wait patiently and send the request again the next day.
The account is shadowbanned
One possibility is that you or the account you are trying to follow is shadowbanned. If the account is shadowbanned, it may be limited or hidden so others can’t see it. If the account holder engages in suspicious activities or violates TikTok’s rules, they might be secretly banned.
Using hateful language or sharing violent content could lead to a shadowban. TikTok’s staff may consider them as someone who violates their community guidelines and enforces a shadowban on their account.
Clear app cache
The corrupted cache memory of the app might interfere with the proper functioning of the app and might be a reason that is causing issues with the app. Clear the cache memory of the TikTok app and then check if the issue persists.
