A warning lets you know that something on your account didn't follow our rules. It's there to help you understand what to avoid in future, and to help us treat every creator fairly.
Where to see your warnings
Go to Creator Tools → Account Health → Warnings.
What you need to know
Your fans can't see warnings. Only you and our team can.
Warnings stay on your account, even after you fix or remove the content. They're part of your account history.
They apply across linked accounts, if you have more than one, whether they are live or deleted.
Most issues can be fixed. There's no fixed number of warnings before an account is closed: it depends on how serious the issue is. Repeated issues lead to stronger action, and the most serious ones, such as anything involving minors, lead to immediate closure.
How a warning can affect you
Area | What it means for you |
Payouts | We may pause them while we take a closer look. |
Linked accounts | You won't be able to create or link new accounts while you have an active warning. |
Discover | Profile media issues can remove you from Discover until you update them. |
If you think the warning is wrong, you can ask us to review it. See Why is my account Banned/Suspended?
