When someone deactivates their TikTok account, it's temporarily disabled for 30 days. During this period, others cannot view their profile or videos. The action is intended to give users a chance to reconsider their decision. If the account is not reactivated within those 30 days, it will be permanently deleted, removing all content and information associated with it. Reactivation requires simply logging back into the account within the grace period.
