When someone is not found on TikTok, it typically means the user's account has been deleted, deactivated, or suspended, or that the username was mistyped. It could also indicate the account is set to private, and you're not following them, making their profile invisible to you. To resolve this, double-check the username for accuracy or reach out to the person through another platform to confirm their TikTok status.
