How to Block Someone on TikTok

Block unwanted users and manage your TikTok privacy with ease

Quick Answer

Go to the user's profile, tap the three-dot menu (⋯), select Block, and confirm. Manage your blocked list anytime in Settings > Privacy > Blocked accounts.

Step-by-Step Guide

1

Find the User's Profile

Open TikTok and navigate to the profile of the person you want to block. You can search their username in the Search tab or tap their name from a comment or video.

💡If the account is private, you can still block them from search results without following them first.
2

Tap the Three Dots and Select Block

On their profile page, tap the ⋯ (three-dot) icon in the top-right corner. A menu will appear — select Block. TikTok will ask you to confirm; tap Block again to finalize.

💡Blocking is silent — the user will not receive a notification that they have been blocked.
3

Report the Account if Needed

After selecting the three-dot menu, you can also tap Report to flag the account for harassment, spam, or other policy violations. You can block and report simultaneously for stronger action.

💡Reporting helps TikTok's moderation team review harmful content. You can report a video, a comment, or the entire account.
4

Manage Your Blocked List in Privacy Settings

To review or unblock users, go to your Profile > ☰ Menu > Settings and privacy > Privacy > Blocked accounts. Here you can see everyone you have blocked and unblock them with one tap.

💡After unblocking someone, they will be able to see your public content again, but they will not automatically re-follow you.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the blocked person know I blocked them?

No. TikTok does not send any notification when you block someone. They will simply no longer be able to find your profile, view your videos, or interact with you.

Can a blocked person still see my public videos?

No. Once blocked, they cannot view your profile or videos on TikTok, even if your account is public. If they log out, they may still see some content, so consider making your account private for maximum protection.

How do I unblock someone on TikTok?

Go to Profile > ☰ Menu > Settings and privacy > Privacy > Blocked accounts. Find the person and tap Unblock. You can also visit their profile directly and tap the three-dot menu to unblock.
