Q&A for How to Know if Someone Blocked You on TikTok

You can't unsend videos on TikTok, but you can delete them from your device by tapping and holding on the chat, then selecting "Delete."

When a user blocks you on TikTok, their videos won't load for you, and you won't be able to access their profile or see their likes.

If an account is banned, you'll see messages like "Account banned" or "This account is no longer available." You might also encounter errors such as "Server is currently unavailable. Try again later" when attempting to interact with the account.

That means they probably deleted their account. After some time of the account being banned permanently, if an appeal is not successful TikTok will remove the entire account from their platform.

This might be a coincidence if you're not personally connected to the creator, as they may limit comments to people they know. Alternatively, it could be a glitch on TikTok. If you know the creator, consider reaching out to them directly to inquire about it.

If a user blocked you, they would not appear in your searches. You can still click their tag in videos to see if they blocked you.

It means that their account is private, their account was banned, they deleted their account, or they blocked you.

You can be muted in a live stream, which stops you from posting anything in chat. The only way for the creator to stop you from watching their livestream altogether is to block you.

No, it's more likely a glitch or error on the website. Since you aren't logged in, that could be the issue. You can't be blocked without an account. If his account is private, only approved and logged-in users can view it.

If your friend showed you her blocked list and you weren’t on it, she may have unblocked you before showing you. It's also possible she blocked you by accident and corrected it. If she insists she never blocked you, it could be a glitch, but that's uncommon.

That means your account is shadow-banned, which means it's secretly blocked across the whole site. Users who are shadow-banned can still post comments and videos, but they only show up for the user who posted the content. The reason why an account is shadow banned is usually because they posted offensive/hateful comments. If you didn't post anything inappropriate or offensive, it might have been a false positive. You can contact TikTok for help.

Evading a block violates TikTok's policy, especially if used for harassment. However, you can create another account using a different phone number, email, or by connecting through Facebook or Google. Be careful about revealing your identity, as this could lead to being blocked again or reported.

It's probably a glitch in the app. Your account shouldn't log out if you try to follow a blocked user; instead, you would receive a message saying you can't follow them.

If you've been blocked from viewing a TikTok Live video, the video may not load or appear unavailable, and you might notice that comments are disabled. Additionally, you won't be able to see any videos posted by the person who has blocked you.

Yes, if you can't view someone's content while others can, it likely means you have been blocked.

You cannot follow or view the content of a user you have blocked, and they will not receive notifications related to your actions.

Once you block someone on TikTok, neither you nor the blocked person can view each other's videos. If you received a notification, it might be from before you blocked them.

No. Blocking a user means you cannot see their content at all, and that includes videos on the front page.

No. Blocking a user doesn't send them a notification, and they cannot post anything to your videos or profile.

Yes, you can view their profile unless their account is private, but you won't be able to interact with them or post anything unless you're logged in.

This doesn't have anything to do with blocking. It just means the site is under maintainence or the app is overloaded at the time you're searching.

You were most likely blocked by the user who you posted a comment on. When someone is blocked, all favorites and videos from that user will disappear.

You can suspect someone has blocked you if their profile shows likes but no content, and you can't see their videos or interact with them.

Your comments will remain visible to the person unless they manually delete them. Blocking only prevents you from commenting on their videos or viewing their profile moving forward; it doesn't automatically delete past comments.

No, blocking on social networks isn't a reflection of you; it simply means the person doesn't wish to interact.

Whether it's your fault depends on the reason you were blocked. If it was due to rude behavior, then it might be your responsibility. However, if you haven't done anything wrong, don't be too hard on yourself.

Yes, but it will be harder for them to do so. TikTok’s royalty free license means that any original sound can be used by anyone. Unless if the audio is taken down, you will be able to use it in your video.

The person may have a private account, meaning that if you are not following them and they aren't following you, you cannot watch their TikToks.

If someone's account doesn't appear in your search results, it's possible they have deleted or suspended their account rather than blocking you, as blocked accounts typically still show up in search results.

No, they will not receive any notifications from you, so they won't know you liked their video.
