New TikTok account: follows don’t stick and first public video has 0 views
I made a new TikTok account today and something seems wrong right away.
What happened:
- I tried to follow one account shortly after joining, but the follow didn’t stick / the following count didn’t update.
- I posted one public video around 8 AM and it still has 0 views.
- The video is set to “Everyone.”
- I checked the video in incognito and it is publicly visible.
- Account Check says there are no outstanding issues.
I barely used the account before this happened, so I’m trying to figure out whether this is a normal delay for new accounts or some kind of account setup glitch.
Has anyone had a new account start like this? Did it fix itself, or did you end up making a new account?
