How to find block list on TikTok


If you’ve blocked users in the past and want to review or manage them, understanding how to find block list on TikTok is essential. TikTok allows you to block unwanted accounts for safety and privacy, but many users don’t know where the block list is located because it’s hidden deep within the privacy settings.

This guide walks you through exactly how to locate your TikTok block list on Android, iPhone, and desktop, as well as how to manage and remove blocked users.

  • They can’t view your videos
  • They can’t message you

  • They can’t tag or mention you

This list lets you review and manage these users at any time.

TikTok sometimes tests new layouts in certain countries.
