among the young, TikTok is one of the most popular social networks in recent years.. As in other social networks, there may be individuals here who are intrusive or with whom we do not want to interact. Blocking a user on TikTok is something that many will already know, but others will not. Here we will describe how to block a user on TikTok. By doing this, you will be able to prevent this individual from bothering you in the way that you want.
TikTok's goal is to make its users happy or feel safe, so blocking another person can make us feel safe and comfortable. We can block other users at any time on this social network if people have annoyed us or left offensive comments, for example.
Block another user on TikTok
When someone is blocked on TikTok, they will not be able to see our profile or the content we post on it. They will also not be able to contact us or leave comments on the content that we publish in our account. If someone annoys us or we don't want to interact with on TikTok, we can contact them or block them completely.
You can block any user of the social network through the simple process that we are going to describe. The steps are:
- Open the TikTok app on your Android mobile device.
- Go to the profile of the person you want to block.
- Then you must click on the three points that appear in the upper right.
- The next thing you will see is the context menu in which you will have to click on the Block option.
- Confirm that you want to do it and you're done.
We can also perform the same steps in other versions of the social network as in its version for iOS, to block another user on TikTok for Android. The steps are very simple, as you can see.
Block users in batches
Also there is another function in TikTok that may be of interest to many people. The batch lock It is a method by which you can block multiple accounts simultaneously. You can block trolls or people who bother you from your account using this technique. Blocking these people individually would take a long time if there are many accounts, so this method is better.
This is a function that many users of the app are not aware of, but it can certainly be extremely useful. Since if there are a few accounts that are bothering you, such as annoying or even offensive comments, you can end them in the same action. Of course, these are accounts that you block because they leave offensive or annoying comments on your profile and posts. The steps you have to follow to do this on TikTok are:
- Open the TikTok app.
- Then go to the post where the comments of the people you want to block are.
- Then hold down on the comments. Another alternative is to press the pencil icon in the upper left corner.
- Now click on Manage multiple comments.
- Select the comments you want.
- It's time to click More.
- And finally select the option Block account.
We locked simultaneously over a hundred profiles in the app using these steps. You may also notice that we can do this with up to a hundred accounts at a time, so if there are a lot of morons or trolls messing around in their comments, we can screw them up quickly and efficiently. We can do this as many times as we want, as long as we stick to the rule of only 100 comments per article.
How to unblock a user on TikTok
The procedure to block a user on TikTok has already been discussed, but there may be situations where we prefer to do the opposite: to unlock. We may think better of it or that we have made a mistake by blocking a user in the app, or that we have the wrong person. Fortunately, these types of errors can be corrected, so we can unblock a user that we have previously blocked in our account without any problem.
We can use any account that we have blocked to carry out this procedure, but unlocking it will be more complicated. We will have to unlock each account by hand, unlike the previous section where we could unlock multiple accounts at once. Even if we block many users, we won't be able to unblock all of them at once (at least for now). We will have to perform the following actions if we want to unblock someone on TikTok:
- First open the TikTok app.
- Then go to the profile of the person you want to unblock.
- Click on the three dots that appear at the top left of the screen.
- Then, in the menu that appears, click Unlock.
- Repeat the process with other accounts you wish to unlock.
Hay two ways we can unlock to a user on TikTok, other than the one I described above. If we do not remember the username of someone we want to unblock, especially, we can follow these steps:
- Open TikTok on your Android.
- Go to App Settings.
- Enter the Privacy section.
- Then you must go to the Blocked accounts section.
- There you will see the list of blocked people. Find the one you want to unlock.
- Tap Unlock.
- Then repeat this for the other accounts you want to unlock.
Limit interaction with other users
You always can make your TikTok account private if you want to prevent trolls or annoying people from commenting on our posts. When someone requests to follow us, we must approve the request first to avoid negative or annoying trolls or users. We have more control over who follows us when we don't allow those who aren't interested in following us to do so. Although this may be an option that some social network users do not want to take, it can be effective.
Although we can restrict communication with other users on the social network by limiting our interactions with them, we can also improve our privacy on TikTok by controlling various aspects, such as who can comment on our posts, who can send us messages, etc. These options are very beneficial, so you have to take into account their configuration.
In the section of Security of TikTok Settings, we can find the Privacy section. In this section we can customize the options so that our account is more secure on the social network. We can select from a list of actions in the Privacy section. These actions include comments, mentions and direct messages, among others. All our publications can be safeguarded by only allowing our friends to leave comments or send direct messages by configuring this option. If you have a child on the platform, it's a good idea to set up similar features so you can keep unwanted interactions with your account to a minimum.
