Still can't unblock someone on tiktok - what am i missing?

heads up that unblocking doesn't put things back how they were. if you followed each other before, that's gone and you'd have to follow again. they don't get told you unblocked them either.

Go to your profile, open Settings and privacy > Privacy > Blocked accounts, and hit Unblock next to their name. Searching them doesn't work well while they're blocked, so that list is the reliable route. If they blocked you as well, you won't see their profile even after you unblock.
