If TikTok won’t let you change your bio, your account may be experiencing the error code 2433. This system malfunction will prevent you to save any updates.
In this guide, we’ll help you understand why this error persists and what workarounds you can do to update your profile details.
Why can’t I edit my bio on TikTok?
If TikTok won’t let you change your bio, your account may have incurred the ‘Server is unavailable. Please try again later’ error message. This will include the TikTok error code 2433, which is the reason for the app to prevent you from successfully updating your details in the bio section. Any changes you make will go unsaved.
Content creators who include an external link in their bio have been blocked when they try to remove the link from their profile.
Another reason can be that the TikTok server is down. When this occurs, the database will be unavailable, and you will be unable to process any changes that you try to make to your account.
Previous TikTok users have encountered error 2433 when they’ve included a full stop in their bio. This error code is mainly due to a system error on TikTok’s side. This will interfere with the server processing your system request to change your bio.
How do I fix my TikTok bio?
Press ‘Save’ many times
To get TikTok to save the changes you have made to your bio, continuously press the ‘save’ button after removing or changing all the text.
Note: Make sure you hit the save button at a rapid pace to ensure the app will erase your current bio.
Delete and reinstall TikTok
Uninstall the TikTok app from your device. Before you reinstall it, restart your mobile to erase all data on it.
This will help get rid of any corrupt software that may be the cause for your bio information to not change.
Clear TikTok cache
Every time you launch the TikTok app, it saves cache files on your device. This helps improve the app’s performance and quicken load times.
However, if you do not clear this data, over time, it will become too full or contain corrupt files.
To clear the TikTok cache files;
Open TikTok > Profile > Settings and Privacy > Under ‘Cache and Cellular Data’ > Clear Cache
This will instantly erase the built-up cache data on your device.
Check TikTok service
If the TikTok server is down when you attempt to update your profile information, the bio simply won’t edit. Therefore, check its status, and if the service is indeed down, wait for it to get back up and then change the bio.
Why did TikTok reset my profile?
TikTok will reset your profile if you violate its community guidelines. If you post a video that violates its rules, the app will take necessary action on your account. When your profile gets reset, your video will display no likes and views. In addition, TikTok may decide to put a shadow ban on your content.
A shadowban will block other viewers from seeing your upload. It will not appear on the FYP (for you page). There’s no exact time frame for how long your video can be hidden; however, the estimate is between two weeks and a month, depending on the extremity of your post.
If you have not gone against TikTok’s community guidelines and your profile has been reset, it could be because your bio contains information that the app does not accept. When this happens, TikTok may reset your bio and put a temporary block on making changes for a certain time period.
Why does my TikTok FYP keep resetting?
When the TikTok FYP keeps resetting, this could be due to a storage issue on your device. To help fix the app from not being able to load your algorithm, you will need to clear up space on your mobile.
Why did my profile picture change on TikTok?
If you’ve tried to change your profile picture on TikTok, the update can sometimes be processed on the app’s database but not on your end. When this happens, your image will stay the same until it comes through at a later stage from the TikTok server. To help keep your account up to date, you can refresh your TikTok app’s connection.
You can do this with a quick restart of your device or a forced shutdown of your app. If your image still does not update, there could be a TikTok server error.
When this occurs, you will need to be patient and wait until the app server is back up and operational.
Conclusion
With this simple guide, we hope you now know why TikTok won’t let you change your bio and that you were able to rectify this error with one of the solutions provided.
If the problem carries on, and the apps server is not offline, there may be an issue with your account. If this is the case, we suggest you report a problem directly to TikTok’s support team. You can do so through the app on your mobile under the support section.
