TIKTOK’S ability to bring people together is what accelerated its popularity during the pandemic.
The video-sharing app attracts 1billion active users each month – but unfortunately, not all of them are friendly.

Haters, trolls and spam are an inevitable part of social media – but blocking gives people the power to cut it out of their social media experience.
How do I block someone on TikTok?
How to block one person:
- Go to the person’s profile.
- Tap the three dot icon in the top right.
- Tap Block and follow the steps in the app.
How to block people in bulk:
- Long-press on a comment or tap the pencil icon in the upper left corner to open a window of options.
- Tap Manage multiple comments.
- Select up to 100 comments.
- Tap More.
- Tap Block accounts.
Using the bulk block feature, you can block up to 100 accounts at a time.
Can you block someone on TikTok without them knowing?
Yes.
TikTok will never send notifications to the blocked person.
This is standard practice among social media platforms, including Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.
What happens when you block someone on TikTok?
“Blocking users disables them from viewing your videos or engaging with you through direct messages, comments, follows or likes,” TikTok says in a help forum on its website.
The account will also be added to your blocked list.
Can someone blocked on TikTok still see your messages?
No, they cannot.
The entirety of your chat history together will be inaccessible to them.
If you’d like them to see your messages, or perhaps a feud has fizzled out, you can unblock them.
To do so, simply follow these steps:
- Go to the person’s profile.
- Tap the three dot icon in the top right.
- Tap Unblock and follow the steps in the app.
