How to prevent TikTok from automatically logging you out?
Depending on your situation, you can resolve the issue by updating or logging out of TikTok on other devices. In more complex scenarios, you need to change the password, reinstall the app, or reset the device. Before troubleshooting, ensure TikTok isn’t down in your region. Confirm this by visiting the TikTok section of the DownDetector website or checking their social media outlets for any reported outages.
1. Update TikTok to the latest version
If your TikTok app is outdated, it won’t use the latest protocols and features that servers require. This mismatch can cause servers to refuse the client request and cause frequent logouts. To solve this, update TikTok to the latest version:
2. Log out of TikTok on Other Devices
If your TikTok account is active on multiple devices, unusual behavior might frequently log you out on the primary device. To resolve this, log out of TikTok on all other devices.
3. Change the Password of the TikTok Account
If TikTok servers detect unusual activity from your account due to location or device change, they will safeguard your account by revoking client access, causing frequent logouts. To fix this, change your TikTok account password and ensure 2-step Verification is activated under Settings and Privacy > Security. If you registered for TikTok using another service (such as Facebook or Google), modify the account password on that respective service.

4. Remove minor accounts from the TikTok app
If multiple accounts are logged into TikTok, and one’s age is listed as a minor (18 or under), issues such as frequent logouts may occur. These issues can be resolved by removing minor accounts from the app. If you have something essential in these accounts, back it up.
5. Clear Cache and Data of the TikTok App
The logout issue on the TikTok app can occur if the cache or data becomes invalid. Clearing these can resolve the problem.

7. Reset the Phone to Factory Settings
If your device’s core modules are damaged, or a TikTok shadow-banned entry remains in your device’s configurations, you may continuously be logged out of TikTok. Resolving the issue can be as simple as resetting your phone to its factory defaults. Before resetting, ensure your device is fully charged and your data is backed up. Instructions for iPhone reset: If the issue persists, try logging into the TikTok app on a different device. If this doesn’t resolve the problem, reach out to TikTok Support. You can use ‘Report a Problem’ located under the app’s ‘Settings & Privacy’. Navigate to ‘Account Management’ > ‘Login and Logout’ > ‘My Account Logout Automatically’, then tap ‘Submit’. Upon response, follow the provided instructions to resolve the issue. In some instances, it may be necessary to verify the ownership of the TikTok account.
