How to Block Someone on TikTok

So, you’re on TikTok and there’s this person who’s just not giving you a good vibe? Maybe they're spamming, or just plain annoying. Whatever the reason, sometimes you just need to block someone. Trust me, it's super easy. Here’s how you do it.

Steps to Block Someone on TikTok

  1. Open the App
