Question

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

Aasim

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.

Question

What if their username says "@0"

Aasim

Top Answerer

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.

Question

Why has the creator limited comments for all their videos after I started following them? Apparently others can comment but not me.

Sabrina

Community Answer

It could just be a coincidence if you aren't friends with the creator or don't know them. Creators often limit the comment section only to people they know. However, if you do know the creator, you could ask them about it either in person or through messaging. The problem could also just be a glitch in TikTok.

Question

Why can't I find a user account on TikTok?

Aasim

Top Answerer

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.

Question

Why can't I see a person's followers or their videos when I am not following them?

Aasim

Question

Can I be blocked from watching a creators live only?

Aasim

Top Answerer

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.

Question

I don’t have an account on TikTok but my son does. When I click on his profile, it goes to a different account. Did he block me?

Community Answer

No. That sounds more like it is a glitch/error within the website. You aren't logged in, so it might have something to do with that. You can't block someone unless they have an account. Is his account private? If it is private, then nobody is able to view it unless they are approved and logged in.

Question

My new BFF blocked me. I was at her house and she showed me her blocked list and I wasn’t in there. What does this mean?

Community Answer

Why would your friend block you? If someone blocks you on purpose, that means they're not your friend. Did your friend unblock you after the last time you checked her profile? Maybe she blocked you by accident and realized her mistake. If she denies blocking you, it might be a glitch within the site, but that's very unlikely.

Question

Why do my comments show up only on my device and other people, including the creator, can’t see my comment on their video?

Community Answer

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.

Question

Someone blocked my account. How do I add another account on TikTok to bypass the block?

Community Answer

Block evading is against TikTok's policy, especially if it's used to harass or bully someone. But if you still want to do it, you would create another account the same way as any other site. If you have a second phone number or email address, you can create another account. You can also connect via Facebook or Google. Just make sure that you don't give away your identity, or else they could block you again or even report you.

Question

My TikTok account automatically logs out when I want to follow someone. Is that because I'm blocked by the user?

Community Answer

Most likely not. It sounds like it is a glitch within the website. Your account shouldn't log out when trying to follow a blocked user. Instead, it would say you cannot follow the user.

Question

How can I tell if I’ve been blocked from viewing a live video on TikTok?

It will say the video cannot load or is unavailable, and that comments are disabled. You cannot view any video posted by a blocked user.

Question

My sister blocked me but I saw in my cousin's tablet that she follows my cousin and everything is like normal. But when I try to check out her content, it does not let me. Am I blocked?

Community Answer

Yes. If a user blocks you, that means you can't view their content, but other users can, unless they're blocked too.

You cannot follow a user who has been blocked. Attempting to follow a user who has been blocked by you, or blocked you will not let you follow them.

Question

I blocked someone on TikTok but I got a notification that the same person checked my profile. Is it possible to see someone's videos after blocking them?

Community Answer

That user might have viewed your profile right before you blocked them. You cannot view a blocked user's videos, so if the user was on your page at the same time you were blocking them, they will not be able to view your profile after refreshing.

Question

After searching a user who I suspect I am blocked by, the search says "unavailable at this time", what does this mean?

Community Answer

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.

Question

I had five likes on a comment on one video and today they randomly disappeared and I can't find the video in my likes. Do you know what happened?

Community Answer

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.

Question

If I block someone, what happens to comments I've made on their videos? Can they still see them or delete them or are they invisible to them?

Community Answer

The comments will stay, unless the other person deletes them manually one by one. Blocking just prevents you from commenting on their videos and seeing their profile, any comments posted before blocking will not be automatically deleted.

No. People blocking other people on social networks is not a reflection of you as a person. It just means that they do not want to interact with you.

Question

Is it your fault if you get blocked?

Cucumberry

Community Answer

That all depends on why you got blocked. If you got blocked because you were being rude to them, then yes, there is a chance that it is your fault. But if you haven’t done anything, then don’t take it too hard upon yourself.

Question

Is someone able to see or use sounds from your account if they are blocked?

Aasim

Top Answerer

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.
