An inability to follow other users on TikTok can arise from various account restrictions and platform limitations. This issue manifests when the user attempts to follow another account and the action is either blocked, unsuccessful, or the follow button is unresponsive.
Addressing this problem is important to maintain the intended user experience of social interaction on the platform. A user’s inability to connect with other creators limits their engagement, potentially affecting content discovery and community building. Historically, platforms implement such restrictions to mitigate spam, bot activity, and other forms of misuse that compromise platform integrity.
