Did someone leave you a less-than-desirable comment on TikTok? Fortunately, deleting a comment from your own video (or a comment you left somebody else) is simple. You can also remove multiple comments from your own videos and use TikTok's privacy features to filter comments that contain spam, offensive language, or specific words. We'll show you easy ways to delete comments on TikTok and teach you how to use filters to limit future problematic comments.

Things You Should Know

  • To delete multiple comments on your own video, tap the slider or pencil at the top of the comments, select the comments, then tap "Delete."
  • Enabling comment filters lets you limit who can comment on your videos and hides comments containing specific keywords.

  1. If one of your own videos contains multiple comments you want to remove, it's easy to delete them more than one comment at once.
    • You can only delete multiple comments on your own TikToks, so make sure you're tapping a video on your own profile.
    • While this method makes it easy to delete multiple comments, it won't be efficient if you want to delete all of the comments on a video with lots of comments. Instead, hide all comments for the video so they'll no longer be visible to anyone.
  2. It's the chat bubble on the right side of the video. This opens a list of all comments on the selected video. [4]
  3. You'll see one of these two icons in the upper-right area of the comment list. Now you'll see empty circles to the left of each comment.
  4. As you tap, a red-and-white checkmark will appear inside of each circle.
  5. A confirmation message will appear. [5]
    • If all of the comments you've selected violate TikTok's community guidelines, tap More at the bottom-right corner and select Report comments instead. You can then select a category, such as Bullying and harassment or Hateful behavior . If the comment is a violation, TikTok will remove some or all of these comments.
  6. All of the selected comments are now removed from your video. [6]

  4. When the switch is off (gray or white), all existing comments on the video will disappear and new comments cannot be added. [7]
    • You can return to this screen at any time to reenable comments, which brings the original comments back to the video.
    • You can also disable comments when posting new videos. When posting your new video, just toggle off the "Allow comments" switch before posting.
