How to Block Someone on TikTok Without the Three Dots Option

TikTok has become one of the most popular social media platforms, attracting millions of users, including friends, influencers, and celebrities. While it is a fun space to share videos and connect with people, sometimes you may need to block someone—whether to avoid unwanted interactions, spam, or negativity. Normally, blocking someone on TikTok is done through the three dots menu on their profile, but what if that option doesn’t appear? Don’t worry—there are other ways you can block someone on TikTok without relying on the three dots.

Why You Might Not See the Three Dots Option

There are a few reasons why the three dots menu may not be available:

• TikTok might be testing a new layout or interface.
• The app may not be updated to the latest version.
• The user may have limited profile visibility, affecting available options.
• It could be a temporary glitch in the app.

Regardless of the cause, you can still block someone using alternative methods.

Method 1: Blocking Through Comments

If the person you want to block has commented on your video, you can block them directly from the comment section.

1. Open the TikTok app and go to the video with their comment.
2. Long-press on the comment.
3. A menu will appear with options including Block.
4. Confirm the block to remove them from interacting with you.

This method works even if the three dots aren’t available on their profile.

Method 2: Blocking Through Messages

If you have received direct messages from the person, you can block them through your inbox.

1. Open TikTok and go to your Inbox.
2. Open the conversation with the person.
3. Tap their username at the top of the chat.
4. Scroll down to find the Block option.
5. Confirm to block the user.

This way, they won’t be able to message you again.

Method 3: Blocking Through Profile Options (Without Three Dots)

If the three dots don’t show, you can sometimes still block from the profile page by:

1. Visiting their profile.
2. Tapping the arrow (share icon) on the top-right corner of the screen.
3. In the pop-up menu, scroll to find the Block option.
4. Confirm to block them.

This is the most reliable alternative to the three dots method.

Method 4: Bulk Blocking (For Spam or Multiple Accounts)

If you are dealing with spam or multiple accounts from the same person, TikTok allows you to block users in bulk.

1. Open your TikTok notifications or comment section.
2. Tap and hold one username.
3. Select Manage multiple comments or Manage multiple accounts.
4. Choose all the accounts you want to block.
5. Tap More and select Block accounts.

This helps when one person is harassing you using different accounts.
