In today’s guide, you’ll learn how to hide comments on TikTok, whether you’re hiding a specific comment or want to disable comments across all videos on your profile.
Let’s get started…
Key Points:
How Do You Hide Comments On TikTok?

You can also choose to delete a comment, or multiple comments, if you just have an issue with specific engagements.
These settings only apply to videos that you post on your profile.

How To Make An Invisible Comment On TikTok
Invisible comments, also known as ‘blank comments’, are comments that don’t include any text but rather several lines of white space.
To create an invisible comment, first copy an invisible character from a site like Editpad.
Then, open the video of your choice and paste the character into the comment field.
Post your comment - it will appear as a blank line.
Can You Turn Off Comments On TikTok As A Viewer?
No, there’s no way to turn off comments across the entire app as a viewer.
The only way to disable comments is on your own content, either for individual videos or across your entire profile.
Why Are Some TikTok Comments Not Showing?
If you see an engagement count on a video, but the comments aren’t showing, run through the following troubleshooting steps to resolve it.
Restart The App
First, close TikTok and reopen it. Sometimes simple glitches can be resolved by doing this.
Check Your Connection
Make sure your WiFi or data connection is strong. If it is, test TikTok from another device to see if the comments are still not appearing.
Make Sure TikTok Isn’t Down
Check TikTok’s status page to make sure there aren’t any widespread issues happening with the platform. If there are, your best bet is to just sit it out until it’s been resolved.
Uninstall & Reinstall
Next, delete the TikTok app from your device and reinstall it. This can help clear cache and refresh app performance.
If It’s Just Your Comments…
If you’re having trouble seeing your specific comments, first make sure that you haven’t been blocked or restricted by the specific account.
Try to view your comments from another profile, or while logged out, to see if they’re appearing for others.
It’s also possible that the creator disabled comments for that video or for their entire profile, either during creation or after posting it.
