TikTok Marketing 101: How to Limit Comments on TikTok

Table of Contents

When it comes to social media profiles, you can choose whether to keep your content private or public. If you have a public profile, everyone can view your videos, but only your followers can access private videos if you have a private profile. This is also applicable to TikTok users and accounts.

When it comes to giving access to your content, you can also control the comments section of your TikTok profile. Now, you also have the ability to limit what other users can say about your videos.

Read on as we discuss TikTok marketing and how to limit comments on your posts.

Managing Comments on Your TikTok Videos

It is possible to have filters and moderators on TikTok to prevent abuse, but you can also have the tools to manage your stream so you can keep things under control. For example, we created a feature called “Filter Comments” that allows you to specify a list of precise terms that should be filtered out of video comments.

To configure manual keyword filters, you have to see the privacy and configuration options that are available. Go to “Privacy and Security”, activate “Filter Comments”, go to “Privacy and Protection”, and then “Add Keywords”. After, make your selections and hit the “complete” button. Comments on your videos that contain the keywords you specify will no longer appear.

Utilizing Comments Restrictions

On TikTok, you can also choose your own commenters. You can disable comments completely, limit their access to friends only, or enable them completely.

First, check that your profile’s Privacy and Security options are enabled. After this, select “Who Can Leave Comments on My Videos?” from the drop-down box. This will give you the option to either choose, Everyone, Friends, or Off. You also have the option to report any comments that you believe violate TikTok’s community guidelines.

Limiting Comments on Posts

Users who leave comments on videos may use foul language. You are relieved that you no longer need to investigate nasty comments.

First, you can look for offensive comments on your TikTok videos. Once you find them, tap the three dots in the upper-right corner of the screen to access the device’s settings. After that, choose the “Privacy” option, and uncheck the box “Allow Comments.”

Managing Comment Approvals

TikTok announced a new security feature in early 2021. Reading comments before approving them allows you to prevent breaching people’s privacy.

First, go to your TikTok and then click the three dots. Click on Privacy, and then click the “Filter all Comments” option under “Comment filters” to remove all comments.

If you choose this option, your followers can still leave comments, but they won’t be visible until you approve them. Your followers will still be able to comment if you enable this feature.

The “Review Filtered Comments” button displays the pending comments. After reviewing them, you will be given the option of removing them or adding them to your profile.

Conclusion

Posting online can attract a myriad of audiences, even ones who leave unpleasant comments. Fortunately, TikTok is making strides to ensure that every user can have an enjoyable experience. Now that you know how to limit comments on each post, you can gain control over your experience on the platform. 

The use of comment filters allows for the regulation of video comments and the freedom to alter settings for safety, privacy, and overall well-being. Remember, do not hesitate to report any comments that you believe violate TikTok’s community guidelines.
