TikTok 0 followers glitch: Fix for account bug as profiles show no followers
TikTok users have been re-encountering a strange bug that resets their follower count all the way back down to zero, but there’s no need to worry about all those lost followers.
Just like with any other social media platform, building up a following on TikTok can take a lot of hard work and impressive videos.
However, a strange bug reset a lot of follower counts back down to zero, leaving some users worried about the future of their accounts, especially as some had to keep re-entering their date of birth.
Why did TikTok unfollow everyone?
The strange glitch has appeared multiple times in the past few years, and it wasn’t long before users were calling on TikTok to address what had happened to their followers.
“Either all my TikTok followers decided to hate me all at once or something happened where I’m back at zero,” wrote one TikToker. “It says I have zero followers but myfypsays I still have my mutuals and stuff?” questioned another.
Others thought they’d been banned, especially after TikTok was asking for them to repeatedly enter their date of birth each time they opened the app. However, that wasn’t the case.

If you’re still experiencing the bug, there’s really nothing you may do for now. It’s all on TikTok’s side and seeing as they’ve fixed it once, it shouldn’t be hard to sort out again.
We’ll just have to wait and see if they can root the problem out for good, or if it’ll continue to crop up.
