Can I restore a TikTok streak on my account?

How to restore a TikTok streak?

If you have lost a TikTok streak with someone and want to restore it, you can try doing this –

• Open your TikTok account on the app. If you don’t have it on your phone, download it from the App Store or Play Store. 
• Open your chats and look for the grey hearts on any of the chats. These will be the chats with which you broke your streak. 
• After spotting that, tap on the “Restore” button against it. Then tap on “Restore” again.
• With this done, your streak will be restored.

Easy right? You can do it too if you want to save and restore a lost streak with a friend or someone.

Points to remember 

You read the steps that can help you restore your TikTok streak with someone. But there are certain restrictions and a criterion for that that you can’t miss on –

• You can only restore a TikTok streak with someone if you try to do that within 48 hours of the streak breaking.
• If a grey fire icon appears on the chat, that is your signal to restore a lost streak. But if the icon is gone, you can’t restore it.
• You will have limited restores per month. That is, you cannot restore a broken streak every time it breaks. It is 2 or 3 times only per month. 

Remember this the next time you are going to restore a lost TikTok streak.

Workarounds for restoring a TikTok Streak

If you are unable to restore a streak through the given method, you may try doing any of these –

• Change the time zone on your mobile phone – Changing the time zone on your phone may let TikTok believe that there is still some time left for the streak to be broken. This is not a sure shot, but you can still try.
• Reach out to Support – Try conveying your problem to TikTok Support. They can try to help you in case there is something to be done. This too isn’t a guarantee that your streak will get restored. 

The best way to not let any streak break is to turn on the notifications for the app. This way, you will get notified by TikTok, once your streak is in danger, hence, you can keep it burning while there is still time.
