  2. Find the person you want to unblock.
  3. Tap Unblock next to their username.

The account will immediately be removed from your blocked list.

What Happens When You Unblock Someone?

After unblocking:

  • They can find your profile again (depending on your privacy settings).
  • They may be able to follow you again.
  • They can view your public content.
  • Previous messages and follow status are not automatically restored.

If you want to follow each other again, one of you will need to send a new follow request if the account is private.

Can Someone Tell You Blocked Them?

TikTok does not notify users when they’re blocked.

However, they may realize they’ve been blocked if:

  • They can’t find your profile.
  • They can’t send you messages.
  • They can no longer view your videos.
  • Your account disappears from their search results or appears inaccessible.
