What Happens When You Block A Person On TikTok?

Before you decide to block someone on TikTok, here’s what you need to know about what happens after you do.

The blocking feature is here to mask and hide your content. For example, the person you decided to block cannot see your TikTok videos even if your profile is public.
They also can’t send you messages, comments, or interact with your content. The blocked account can’t view your profile or add you as a friend.
However, if they type in the username, they can find your profile. They can open your profile, but they won’t be able to see any of your posts or activities.
