How do you know whether someone blocked you on TikTok or not?
Welcome to Blackview (Well-known brand of rugged smartphone) blog. Hope the guide has been helpful.
Have you ever tried to visit a TikTok profile you used to follow, only to be met with a blank page? It can be frustrating to wonder if you've been blocked or if something else is going on. Fear not, fellow scroller! This guide will equip you with the knowledge to decipher whether you've been banished from someone's TikTok presence.
Here's the lowdown on how to determine if you've been blocked on TikTok:
Method 1: The Search Bar
- Open the TikTok app on your smartphone or tablet (Android or iOS).
- Tap the magnifying glass icon at the top of the screen to access the search bar.
- Type in the exact username of the person you suspect blocked you.
- Ensure you have the spelling correct, including any capitalization.
- If the search results yield no profile or a message saying "No results found," it might be a sign you've been blocked. However, there's a chance they deactivated their account or changed their username.
Method 2: The Follower/Following List (with a Twist)
- Head over to your profile by tapping the silhouette icon in the bottom right corner.
- Here's the twist: You cannot directly see if someone has blocked you from your follower list.
- However, if you previously followed each other and you can't find them in your Following list anymore, it increases the possibility of a block.
Method 3: Profile MIA
If you managed to find their username through whispers or another account, try visiting their profile. Are you greeted with a blank page saying "No content found"? That's a strong indication you've been blocked. But wait! If it says "This account is private," they might have just switched their privacy settings.
Method 4: The Incognito Search (a.k.a. Borrowing a Friend's Account)
This method requires a trusted friend who isn't blocked by the suspected blocker.
- Ask your friend to open TikTok on their smartphone or tablet.
- Have them search for the username in question.
- If your friend can see the profile and content, while you can't on your account, then you're likely blocked.
Important Considerations:
- Private Accounts: If the user you suspect of blocking you has a private account, you won't be able to see their profile content even if you're not blocked. This can be misleading, so rely on the search bar and friend verification methods.
- Account Deactivation: If someone deactivates their account, their profile won't be searchable. This can be confused with being blocked.
Remember: There's no guaranteed way to know for certain if you've been blocked on TikTok unless the user explicitly tells you. However, by employing these methods, you can gather strong clues and make an informed judgment.
Bonus Tip: If you determine you've been blocked and it bothers you, consider reaching out to the person through another platform (like text message or social media) to understand why you were blocked. Just be respectful and avoid accusatory language.
