TikTok is fun—until it’s not. Annoying spam accounts, an ex you’d rather not hear from, or someone leaving rude comments: sometimes blocking people on TikTok is the best option. Fortunately, it’s quick and easy to do.

But here’s the catch: once you block someone, their videos disappear from your feed. If they’ve posted content you enjoy, you won’t be able to watch it again. Unless you save it first, of course. That’s where 4K Tokkit comes in. Before you cut ties, you can download their public videos to keep access without keeping them around.

How to Download TikTok Videos Before Blocking Someone

If there’s a creator you want nothing to do with—but their content is still useful, funny, or inspiring; 4K Tokkit makes it easy to save their public videos before you block them.

Here’s how:

Download and install 4K Tokkit on your computer.
Enter the username of the person whose videos you want to save.

Select the videos you want and start downloading by pressing the settings button next to the Download button.

Access them anytime, even after blocking the user or when they block you!

This way, you can clean up your TikTok experience without losing access to content you actually want.

Besides, you can automatically get their content downloaded to your device with 4K Tokkit if you want, all with no need to interact with the owner of the account ever again. How cool is that?!

4K Tokkit also allows you to download your own or someone else’s liked videos (if they’re publicly available), back up your own TikTok account, download videos with the same hashtags or music, and remove watermark from the videos you save.

How to Block Someone on TikTok on iPhone & Android

If you’re ready to block someone, follow these steps:

Open TikTok and use the search bar or find them through your follower list or past interactions.

Tap the Share in the top-right corner of their profile.
A menu will pop up, and here, you have to choose "Block."
TikTok will ask if you’re sure. Confirm, and they’ll be blocked instantly.

How to Block Someone on TikTok Website

Blocking a user on TikTok’s desktop site is just as simple as doing it in the app. Here’s how to do it in a few quick steps:

Open TikTok in your web browser and navigate to the profile of the person you want to block.
Click the three-dot menu on their profile page.
A menu will appear with different options. Click on “Block.”

TikTok will ask you to confirm. Click the “Block” button again to finalize your decision.

The user is now blocked and will no longer be able to interact with you on TikTok.

How to Block Multiple TikTok Users at Once Without Even Visiting Their Profiles

If you’re dealing with a flood of negative or spammy comments, TikTok makes it easy to block multiple users in one go—without having to visit their profiles. You can bulk block up to 100 accounts at a time, but only from the comment section of your own videos. Here’s how to do it:

Go to one of your TikTok videos and tap the “Comments” button.
Press and hold any comment, then tap “Manage multiple comments.”
Select the comments from users you want to block, then tap “More.”
In the menu that appears, select “Block accounts.”
Tap “Block” again to finalize your selection.

If you only want to block one person, you can follow the same process but select just their comment before tapping “More” and choosing “Block accounts.”

This feature is a quick way to remove harmful interactions and prevent repeat offenders from engaging with your content again.

What Happens When You Block Someone?

As soon as you block someone on TikTok, it’s not just them who lose stuff. Some features become unavailable to you, too.

They won’t be able to see your profile, videos, or interact with you in any way.
Their comments on your videos will be hidden.
They won’t be notified, but if they try to visit your profile, they’ll notice.
You won’t be able to find their profile, interact with them or their content.

How to Tell If Someone Blocked You on TikTok

Now that you know how to block someone on TikTok, what if the tables are turned? If you suspect that someone has blocked you, there are a few ways to check:

Type their username in TikTok’s search bar. If their profile doesn’t appear, they may have blocked you or deleted their account. To be sure, ask a friend to search for the same username. If they can still find the profile, then you’ve likely been blocked.
Open your Inbox and look for past conversations with the person. If their name now displays as “Account not found” and you can’t send them messages, it’s a strong sign that you’ve been blocked.
If they were following you (or vice versa), check your lists. If their profile has vanished, they may have blocked you—though they could have just unfollowed you, so this isn’t a definitive method.
If they used to comment on your videos but those comments are now gone, or if you can’t find your own past comments on their content, they may have blocked you.

How to Unblock Someone (If You Change Your Mind)

Blocked someone in the heat of the moment? You can undo it easily:

Go to Settings → Privacy → Blocked Accounts.
Find the person in your list.
Tap Unblock and restore access.

Why can't I block people on TikTok?
