Finding Blocked List

TikTok's block feature helps you avoid unwanted communication or views from specific users. When you block someone on TikTok, you will no longer see their videos on your main page, and they will not receive a notification, but if they were following you, they will be removed from your followers list. Additionally, they will not be able to view your videos or comments, find you in search results, or send you messages.
