Are you worried that you've been blocked by someone on TikTok? When someone blocks you on TikTok, you will not receive a notification that they blocked you to protect the blocker's identity. This makes it very difficult (if not, impossible) to know which users have you blocked. However, this How.com.vn article will show you what TikTok profiles, messages, and your following list might look when a user blocks you, and help you determine whether you've been blocked for sure.
Steps
Open TikTok. It’s the app with a music note inside. You’ll usually find it on the home screen or in the app drawer (if you have an Android).
Tap the profile icon. It’s the outline of a person at the bottom-right corner of the screen.Advertisement
Tap Following. This displays a list of people you’re following.
Look for the user you think has blocked you. If you were following that user and they’ve blocked you, they will disappear from your Following list.
Open TikTok. It’s the app with a music note inside. You’ll usually find it on the home screen or in the app drawer (if you have an Android).
Tap the notifications icon. It’s the square speech bubble at the bottom of the screen.
Tap a comment or mention you made on that user’s video. You can also tap any tags of you they added to their posts. If you cannot view the video, there’s a chance you may have been blocked. Try to follow the person to find out for sure.
Open TikTok. It’s the app with a music note inside. You’ll usually find it on the home screen or in the app drawer (if you have an Android).
Open the discover page. This has a globe or magnifying glass icon.
Type the person’s username and tap the Search key. A list of results will appear.
Tap the person’s username. If you’re blocked, their account will hide its bio and videos, and you will see "You can't view this person's videos due to their user privacy settings". This may not mean you are blocked, however—some accounts are hidden to everyone except a few people.
Tap Follow. If you are able to follow this person (or able to request to follow), you haven’t been blocked. If you see a message that says ″You can't follow this account due to their user privacy settings,″ you’ve likely been blocked by this user.
