This is a very common problem that your TikTok doesn’t show your video to anyone.

Zero Views on All or Recent TikTok Video

Let’s understand a technical problem here, Tik Tok has an algorithm to block people from uploading videos they don’t own, meaning people just download the other viral videos and upload them on their own profile to gain views and followers.

So, Tik Tok catches a bunch of such videos and blocks them, but it has a problem too, this algorithm sometimes catches the original video too, and takes this video under review which is unfair.

How to find your video under review on TikTok?

If you have a video with 0 views, even your own views do not count to it. Click that video and then click 3 dots, try to share your video via message to your friend, if you click on share and it says “this video is under review and can’t be shared right now”, then the algorithm Tik Tok has blocked your video.

Now, all you need to do is click the plus size and record and make a video in TikTok any funny thing and publish it, if you manage to get a single view by watching yourself, then that is it, you don’t have any problem with your account, it is problem with the algorithm.

I know it is terrible, but this is how Tik Tok is working right now.

Why is TikTok not showing my videos on Fyp?

TikTok has strict community guidelines that users must follow to avoid having their content removed. If you violate these guidelines, your videos may be removed or your account may be banned.

Common violations include sharing inappropriate content, hate speech, harassment, and copyright infringement.

If your videos are not getting enough engagement (likes, comments, shares), TikTok’s algorithm may not prioritize them in users’ feeds.

To increase engagement, try to create content that is relevant and interesting to your target audience. Use popular hashtags and participate in challenges to increase your visibility.

But sometimes TikTok may experience technical issues that prevent videos from appearing in users’ feeds. If you suspect that this may be the case, try logging out of the app and logging back in, or uninstalling and reinstalling the app.

Account privacy, if your account is private, new users won’t be able to see your posts.

Additional explanations include the possibility that your videos are “under review,” that you are new to TikTok, or maybe that the TikTok servers are down and your posts aren’t being shown to other users.

TikTok no views after an hours

If see your videos are no getting views after an hour, and you are not a brand new account then your video may be “under review“. Usually, you’ll receive a message informing you of this. Why does this matter? TikTok must ensure that videos adhere to their community guidlines.
