Like most social media sites, TikTok's blocking feature is pretty wide-reaching. When you block a user, TikTok will hide their videos, comments, messages, and profile. They won't even show up if you search for their username.

This means that you can't unblock someone on TikTok the same way you block them. Instead, you'll need to go into your TikTok settings.

Here's how to both block and unblock someone on TikTok.
