Are you worried that you've been blocked by someone on TikTok? When someone blocks you on TikTok, you will not receive a notification that they blocked you to protect the blocker's identity. This makes it very difficult (if not, impossible) to know which users have you blocked. However, this wikiHow article will show you what TikTok profiles , messages, and your following list might look when a user blocks you, and help you determine whether you've been blocked for sure.

  2. It’s the square speech bubble at the bottom of the screen. [4]
  3. Tap a comment or mention you made on that user’s video. You can also tap any tags of you they added to their posts. If you cannot view the video, there’s a chance you may have been blocked. Try to follow the person to find out for sure.

  1. It’s the app with a music note inside. You’ll usually find it on the home screen or in the app drawer (if you have an Android).
  2. This has a globe or magnifying glass icon. [5]
  3. A list of results will appear.
  4. If you’re blocked, their account will hide its bio and videos, and you will see "You can't view this person's videos due to their user privacy settings". This may not mean you are blocked, however—some accounts are hidden to everyone except a few people.
  5. If you are able to follow this person (or able to request to follow), you haven’t been blocked. [6] If you see a message that says ″You can't follow this account due to their user privacy settings,″ you’ve likely been blocked by this user.

    How do I know that someone's account was banned?

    Top Answerer
    It will say "Account banned" - "This account is no longer available". Or you may see error messages like "Server is currently unavailable. Try again later" if you try to interact with the account.

      Tips

      • Depending on the device, some users might see "No posts - Account not found" with the follow button disabled. This only appears when the user blocked them, other times when the account actually does not exist it will give an error message such as "Couldn't find this account".
