TikTok is a great place to watch entertaining videos, share creative content, and connect with people around the world.
But sometimes, you might come across users who leave negative comments, send unwanted messages, or just make your TikTok experience less enjoyable.
Luckily, TikTok allows you to block people easily so you can take full control of your account.
In this guide, we’ll walk you through the steps to block someone on TikTok in 2025 and obviously with some extra tips to keep your account safe.
How to Block Someone on TikTokÂ
Blocking someone on TikTok takes only a few steps. Here’s how you can do it:
Method 1: Blocking a Follower
If the person you want to block is already following you, here’s what you need to do:
Open the TikTok app and go to your Profile.
Tap on Followers (under your profile picture).
Find the user you want to block.
Tap the three dots (•••) next to their name.
Select Block and confirm your choice.
Once blocked, they won’t be able to see your content or interact with you anymore.
Method 2: Blocking Someone You Don’t Follow
If someone keeps appearing on your For You Page or sending you unwanted messages, you can block them directly:
Open the TikTok app.
Find the person’s profile by searching their username or clicking on their profile from a comment or message.
Tap the Arrow ↗️ (top right corner of their profile).
Select Block from the options.
This will immediately prevent them from seeing or interacting with your account.
Method 3: Blocking Someone From Commenting
If you don’t want to block a user completely but want to stop them from commenting on your posts, follow these steps:
Open your TikTok app.
Find a comment from the user you want to restrict.
Press and hold the comment.
Tap Manage user and select Block.
Now, that user won’t be able to leave comments on your posts.
Why Block Someone on TikTok?
Blocking someone on TikTok is a simple yet effective way to:
Stop unwanted messages and comments
Prevent someone from seeing your posts
Remove toxic posts from your TikTok experience
Maintain privacy and create a safe space online
Whether it’s a spam account, an online bully, your ex or just someone you’d rather not interact with, blocking is a quick solution.
Will They Know You Blocked Them?
No, TikTok doesn’t notify users when they’ve been blocked.
They will only realize it if they try to visit your profile and see they no longer have access to your content
Extra Tips for Staying Safe on TikTok
Here are some additional ways to maintain your privacy on TikTok:
Make Your Account Private: Go to Settings > Privacy and switch to a private account to control who follows you.
Restrict Comments & Messages: Under Privacy Settings, limit who can comment or message you.
Use the “Not Interested” Feature: If you keep seeing annoying content, long-press on the video and tap Not Interested to improve your recommendations.
By following these steps, you can enjoy TikTok without worrying about unwanted interactions.
We hope this guide helps you keep your TikTok experience safe and enjoyable in 2025!
