How to Block Someone on TikTok Without Viewing Their Profile

How to Block Someone on TikTok Without Viewing Their Profile

You do not need to visit someone’s profile to block them — if you already have a DM thread with them, or they commented on your video. Both routes end at the same Block confirmation; only a stranger with no prior interaction still forces you to open their profile.

Steps

Open TikTok and go to Inbox

Open TikTok and tap Inbox in the bottom navigation.

Open the conversation

In your Inbox, open the conversation with the person you want to block.

Tap the three dots

In the conversation, tap the three dots in the top right to open the conversation options.

Tap Block and confirm

Tap Block in the options sheet, then tap Block again in the confirmation dialog.

Check the option now reads Unblock

Open the conversation options again: the entry now reads Unblock, which proves the person is blocked.

Long-press the comment

For the second method, open the comments on your own video and long-press the comment from the person you want to block.

Manage comments and tap More

Tap Manage multiple comments in the menu, tick the commenter’s comment, then tap More at the bottom.

Confirm Block accounts

In the confirmation dialog, tap Block accounts to block the selected account.

Check the comment is gone

The comment list refreshes with one fewer comment — the blocked commenter’s comment is gone.

Good to know

Blocked users cannot send you messages, see your posts, or find your profile, and they are not notified that you blocked them.
If you have no prior interaction with someone — no messages and no comments — TikTok offers no way to block them without opening their profile.
To unblock, open the same conversation options again: the Block entry now reads Unblock.
In the comments method, blocking removes that person’s comment from your video.
