How to block or unblock someone on TikTok

To block a TikTok user, find their profile, tap the three dots in the top-right corner, and choose Block > Block. To unblock someone, find and open their profile, then select Unblock > Unblock. You can also bulk unblock in your privacy menu.

To prevent someone from finding you and accessing your videos on TikTok, simply block them from your TikTok account. It's easy! Here's everything you need to know about blocking and unblocking people on TikTok on your iPhone, iPad, or Android phone.

What happens when you block someone on TikTok?

When you block someone, the first thing TikTok does is delete all of their videos from your feed so that you no longer encounter their content. You also don't get a notification when they post new content on TikTok's platform.

TikTok will also prevent that person from finding your profile, accessing your videos, and sending you messages. For them, you will practically not exist on this platform. Above all, the user will not be notified that you have blocked him.

In case you don't want to go to that extreme, you can unfollow a TikTok user instead. This essentially removes that user's content from your feed (but still allows them to view and interact with your content).

To start the blocking process, launch the TikTok app on your phone. Next, find and navigate to the profile of the user you want to block.

When you are on the user's profile page, in the upper right corner of your screen, tap on the three dots.

Select the three dots in the upper right corner.

From the three-dot menu, select "Block".

Advice: If the person you want to block is abusive, you can also report their TikTok account.

How to Unblock Users on TikTok

If you've changed your mind and want to see someone's content in addition to letting them see your videos, unblocking again is a breeze. There are two ways to do this: using the profile page and using your account's privacy menu.

From the user's profile page

On the account profile page, tap "Unblock".

Select "Unblock".

In the prompt, select "Unblock".

Choose "Unblock".

And you are done. The user you selected has been successfully unblocked in your TikTok account.

From your account privacy menu

Using the privacy menu in your TikTok account, you can view and unblock any users you have previously blocked on this platform. This is useful if you can't remember who you blocked and want to unblock other people.

To access this menu, launch TikTok on your phone and select "Profile" in the lower right corner.

Tap "Profile" in the lower right corner.

In the top right corner, tap the hamburger menu (three horizontal lines) and choose "Settings and privacy".

Select "Settings and privacy".

In the “Account” section, tap on “Privacy”.

Choose "Privacy".

Scroll down the "Privacy" page, then select "Blocked accounts".
