The mobile app doesn't allow you to find the user's profile or to send a follow request.

Still, you can not be fully sure that this person has blocked you; there is a possibility that the person has deactivated their account or changed their User Privacy Settings. It means that the person has made their account private.

Method No.2: Check Your TikTok's 'Following List'

Another option to see if someone has blocked you on TikTok is to check your TikTok's 'following list.' That is, of course, if you had followed the person before they blocked you.

If you can't find the username, that means that the person might have blocked you.

Another way to check if you’re blocked on someone’s account is to check from someone else’s account if their profile is still active.
