this shows up and i can't even see their username. what does it mean? did they deactivate their account or what?

So I just joined tiktok a couple of months ago and last month I changed my username. I’ve noticed that when I try to search my @ name, nothing comes up at all on tik tok search, it’s like I don’t exist. 😔

So if I were to post my tiktok on other social media platforms and people wanted to find me on the tiktok app, they can’t because nothing comes up!

Has anyone else experienced this and is there anyway to fix this?? this also might be directly correlated with maybe why my vids aren’t getting any views.

I haven’t received any notifications about violating any guidelines and I sent in a help request message on the app. Still haven’t heard anything back.

My @ name is internationalhottie (same as my Reddit name here) if anyone would like to double check for me!

i have been locked out of one of my tiktok accounts for a year now. the account only had a couple followers but i really wanted to post on it more because i have more related content for it. my tiktok refreshed last year and logged me out of all my accounts and i was able to log into them all fine expect for this one. it wanted me to verify my email but i used a random email for the account because i already had so many accounts and not enough emails. now when i try to login a year later it says “account doesn’t exist”. when i look up my username the account shows up with everything the way i left it. also i know that my username isn’t being typed in incorrectly because im literally copy and pasting it from the account.
