If you’ve looked for someone on TikTok and couldn’t find their account, it might be a sign that they’ve blocked you on the app.
AsTikTok‘s popularity continues to rise, countless new users are joining every day, whether just to browse and interact with videos on their For You Page, or to create some content of their own.
But just like any other social media app, there will inevitably be occasions in which you feel the needto block another account,whether that’s just because you don’t want their content to constantly pop up on your feed, or something else.
Blocking and unblocking people onTikTokis a simple process, but sometimes you may be left wondering whether someone else has blocked you. Here’s how to know if you’ve been blocked by another account.
How to know if someone blocked you on TikTok
There are several things you can check on TikTok that may help give a good indication as to whether someone has blocked you:
It is up to the user to decide whether to unblock you, but these steps should make it easier to identify if you have actually been blocked.
You can manually check if someone has blocked you on TikTok or deleted their account. When you block a user, TikTok will hide their videos, comments, messages, and profile, and they won’t appear in search results.
Alternatively, you can use online services or third-party apps to automatically check who has blocked you. Another option is to search for that person’s account using a different TikTok account. If their profile doesn’t appear, it’s likely they’ve deactivated their account.
