To block someone on TikTok and stop them from interacting with you, you can use TikTok’s built‑in blocking tools. Below is a simple, step‑by‑step guide plus extra privacy tips to keep your account safe.


# What Happens When You Block Someone on TikTok?

When you block a user on TikTok:

  • They can’t view your profile, videos, or likes.
  • They can’t comment, like, or send you direct messages.
  • They won’t be notified that you blocked them (but they may notice they can’t interact with you).
  • Any existing comments and messages remain, but new interactions are blocked.

# Quick FAQ: Blocking on TikTok

1. Does TikTok notify someone when you block them?
No. TikTok does not send a notification. They may realize it if they try to visit your profile or interact with you and can’t.

2. Can a blocked user see my old videos?
No. Once blocked, they should not be able to view your profile or videos while they remain blocked.

3. Can a blocked person still message me?
No. Blocking prevents them from sending you new messages.

4. Will blocking remove their old comments?
Blocking does not always delete existing comments automatically. You may need to manually delete any unwanted comments from your videos.

5. Does blocking remove them as a follower?
Yes. Blocking automatically removes them from your followers and prevents them from following you again (unless you unblock them).
