As TikTok gains more popularity, users become more vulnerable to spammers. When we get spammed, we hit the block button to prevent these spammers from viewing or accessing our profile.
But where do these blocked users or spammers go? Is there a special place designated for any blocked account on TikTok?
Every TikTok user has a blocked list on their TikTok. It holds all the blocked accounts. Access your TikTok Profile and tap the menu button. Next, select “Settings and Privacy” and tap “Privacy.” Finally, scroll down and select “Blocked accounts.”
You’ll see the block list on the Privacy page. The lists keep any spammy or irritating user off your profile. Once they get onto the list, they can’t send texts or access your content. They’ll stop existing in your TikTok world.
The block feature is a vital feature on your TikTok. Let’s learn more about it and how to view the blocked list. I’ll provide a detailed guide on how to check your blocked list.
How To View the Block List on TikTok?
The blocked list contains a list of accounts blocked from interacting with your account. Once on the list, TikTok will stop the user from interacting with your account.
The user will not appear on your search. You’ll not see their comments, profile, messages, or videos. Also, they’ll not find you even if they search for you. So, how do you check your blocked list on TikTok?
