Did someone leave you a less-than-desirable comment on TikTok? Fortunately, deleting a comment from your own video (or a comment you left somebody else) is simple. You can also remove multiple comments from your own videos and use TikTok's privacy features to filter comments that contain spam, offensive language, or specific words. We'll show you easy ways to delete comments on TikTok and teach you how to use filters to limit future problematic comments.

Deleting a Comment on TikTok: Quick Steps

To delete a comment on a TikTok video, tap and hold the comment, then tap Delete. To delete multiple comments at once, tap the edit icon at the top of the comments, tap Manage comments, select the comments to delete, then tap Delete.

Steps

Method 1

1. 
   1
   Go to the video that contains the unwanted comment. Whether you want to delete a comment you left on someone else's video or a comment someone else left on your video, deleting a comment is easy.

   • It's not possible to edit the comment–you can only delete it.
2. 
   2
   Tap the Comment icon. It's the chat bubble on the right side of the video. This opens a list of all comments on the selected video.

   Press and hold the comment you want to delete. A menu with several options will expand.
4. 
   4
   Tap Delete. This deletes the comment from the video.

   • If the comment violates TikTok's community guidelines, tap Report instead. You can then select a category, such as Bullying and harassment or Hateful behavior. If the comment is a violation, TikTok will remove the comment.

Method 2 of 4:

Delete Multiple Comments

1. 
   1
   Tap the video on your profile that contains comments you want to delete. If one of your own videos contains multiple comments you want to remove, it's easy to delete them more than one comment at once.

   • You can only delete multiple comments on your own TikToks, so make sure you're tapping a video on your own profile.
   • While this method makes it easy to delete multiple comments, it won't be efficient if you want to delete all of the comments on a video with lots of comments. Instead, hide all comments for the video so they'll no longer be visible to anyone.
2. 
   2
   Tap the Comment icon. It's the chat bubble on the right side of the video. This opens a list of all comments on the selected video.
3. 
   3
   Tap the sliders or pencil icon. You'll see one of these two icons in the upper-right area of the comment list.
4. 
   4
   Tap Manage comments. Once you tap this option, you'll see selection bubbles to the left of each comment.
5. 
   5
   Tap the circles next to each comment you want to delete. As you tap, a red-and-white checkmark will appear inside each circle.
6. 
   6
   Tap Delete at the bottom-left corner of the screen. A confirmation message will appear.

   • If all of the comments you've selected violate TikTok's community guidelines, tap More at the bottom-right corner and select Report comments instead. You can then select a category, such as Bullying and harassment or Hateful behavior. If the comment is a violation, TikTok will remove some or all of these comments.
7. 
   7
   Tap Delete to confirm. All of the selected comments have now been removed from your video.

Method 3 of 4:

Disable Comments on a Video

Download Article

1. 
   1
   Tap the video on your profile from which you want to hide comments. If one of your own videos contains a lot of comments and you don't want to manually delete them, you can easily hide all comments on the video. This method will also prevent more people from commenting on the video.

   • You can unhide the comments later if you decide you're okay with them being visible.
2. 
   2
   Tap the three dots or three lines on the video. You'll see one of these two icons at the bottom-right corner of the video, depending on your platform.
3. 
   3
   Tap Privacy settings. You may have to scroll down or swipe left to see this option.
4. 
   4
   Tap the "Allow comments" switch to toggle the feature off. When the switch is off (gray or white), all existing comments on the video will disappear, and new comments cannot be added.

   • You can return to this screen at any time to re-enable comments, which brings the original comments back to the video.
   • You can also disable comments when posting new videos. When posting your new video, just toggle off the "Allow comments" switch before posting.

Method 4 of 4:

Limit Unwanted Comments

1. 
   1
   Tap the three-line icon at the top of your TikTok profile ☰. If random people keep leaving you rude, offensive, or spammy comments, you can limit who can comment on your videos without making your account private. You can also create comment filters that instantly hide comments that contain spam, offensive language, or specific keywords until you approve them.
2. 
   2
   Tap Settings and privacy. You'll see this at the bottom of the screen.
3. 
   3
   Tap Privacy. It's the second option in the list.
4. 
   4
   Tap Comments. You'll see this under the "INTERACTIONS" heading near the middle of the page.
5. 
   5
   Change who can comment on your posts (optional). By default, the Everyone option is selected—this means that anyone who comes across your TikTok videos can leave a comment. To keep strangers out of your comments, select Friends instead.

   • Make sure to unfollow anyone you don't want to comment on your profile.
   • You can also disable comments on a TikTok before posting it. On the Post screen, just tap More options… and toggle "Allow comments" to the Off position.
6. 
   6
   Filter out comments containing spam, offensive content, and specific words. You'll see options under "Comment filters" that you can use to filter unwanted comments:

   • Toggle on "Creator Care Mode" to filter comments that may be offensive, contain profanity, are inappropriate, or come from people who've been previously reported for leaving bad comments.
   • Toggle on the "Filter unwanted comments" feature to hide all new comments that TikTok deems spammy or inappropriate. You'll be able to approve individual comments if you'd like.
   • To hide comments that contain specific keywords, tap Filter specific keywords, then toggle the switch to the On position to hide all comments that contain the keywords you add to your keyword list. If any of the words you add to the "Add keywords" field appear in a new comment, TikTok will hide the comment from everyone but you.
7. 
   7
   Review filtered comments. If you enabled comment filters and receive new filtered comments, you can review and approve or delete those comments. Here's how:

   • On your profile, tap the three lines at the top-right and select Settings and privacy.
   • Tap Privacy and select Comments.
   • Tap Review filtered comments.
   • Tap Approve to unhide a filtered comment, or Delete to delete it permanently.

  What does "This comment has been deleted" mean when I see it on TikTok?

  Top Answerer

  You will see "This comment has been deleted" if the original commenter removed their post, the video's creator deleted it, or TikTok removed it for violating community guidelines after it was reported.

• Question

  Will other users be notified if I delete my own comment, or if my comment mentioned someone?

  No notification is sent. They will not know unless they notice your comment is missing.
