Additional Tips for Reporting

Be Specific: Provide accurate and specific details when reporting content. This helps TikTok moderators understand the issue more effectively.

Monitor Reporting Status: TikTok typically notifies you of the outcome of your report. Check your notifications for updates on your reported content.

Block and Restrict: If you're concerned about ongoing interactions with a user, consider blocking or restricting them through TikTok’s privacy settings.
