Blocked someone on TikTok by mistake? Or maybe you’ve had a change of heart and want to reconnect? Whatever your reason, unblocking someone on TikTok is super simple—if you know where to tap.
In this updated 2025 guide, you’ll learn exactly how to unblock someone on TikTok, find your full blocked list, and get answers to common questions like whether TikTok notifies the person you unblocked. Let’s get into it.
Can You Unblock Someone on TikTok?
Yes! TikTok allows users to block and unblock others as needed. Whether it’s a friend you’ve patched things up with or just an accidental block, the unblock option is always available.
But here’s the catch: TikTok doesn’t make the unblock button super obvious. You have to know where to look — and that’s exactly what we’ll show you next.
How to Unblock Someone on TikTok
There are two ways to unblock someone:
Method 1: Via Their Profile (if you remember the username)
- Open the TikTok app and tap the Search icon.
- Enter their username in the search bar.
- Tap on their profile to open it.
- You’ll see a “Blocked by you” tag if they’re currently blocked.
- Tap the “Unblock” button, usually near the top-right or center of the profile.
This is the fastest method if you remember who you blocked. If you ever decide to go further and completely remove your presence, here’s a step-by-step guide on how to delete a TikTok account.
Method 2: From Your TikTok Blocked List
If you don’t remember who you blocked or want to manage all blocked accounts:
- Open TikTok and go to your Profile.
- Tap the three-line menu at the top right.
- Select Settings and Privacy → then tap Privacy.
- Scroll down and tap Blocked accounts.
- You’ll see a list of everyone you’ve blocked.
- Tap Unblock next to any user you want to remove from the list.
Easy, right? TikTok won’t notify them when you unblock them, so it’s a completely quiet move.
How to See Who You’ve Blocked on TikTok
Want to review your list of blocked people without unblocking them?
- Go to Profile > menu > Settings and Privacy > Privacy > Blocked Accounts.
- You can view and manage all blocked users in one place.
This is super helpful if you need to double-check someone’s status.
What Happens When You Block (and Unblock) Someone?
Before we go further, here’s what actually happens:
When You Block Someone:
- They can’t view your profile, comment on your videos, or message you.
- They won’t know you blocked them (TikTok keeps it private).
- You won’t see their videos or activity in your feed anymore.
When You Unblock Someone:
- They regain access to your public content (if your account is public).
- They’ll be able to follow, like, or message you again—but they won’t be notified.
- You can refollow them manually if needed and can increase TikTok interaction.
If you notice issues after unblocking, like problems sharing videos, you may want to check why you can’t send TikToks to friends.
