Comments from other users on your social media posts can offer amazing interactions and valuable feedback.
Unfortunately, not every comment you get is nice or productive. Some comments on your posts can be hostile and abusive, which can negatively impact your mental health. Thankfully, TikTok has a filter comments feature that helps you prevent the publication of unwanted comments on your videos.
When you apply comment filters, filtered comments do not get published directly on your videos. Instead, they get hidden until you later decide to manually approve or delete them.
You can filter the comments on your TikTok videos in three different ways. You can filter all the comments, spam & offensive comments, or comments with keywords.
In this article, you’ll learn how to apply comment filters on your TikTok videos. You will also learn how to approve or delete filtered comments.
