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.
