How to Stop Bots from Following You on TikTok?
It’s time for some hands-on work. We need to talk about how you can get rid of these bots as efficiently as possible. However, as it turns out, it’s not so simple.
As much as we would like to offer you a one-stop solution to remove all bot accounts simultaneously, there is no well-defined solution. These bot accounts are not very easy to detect (at least, not easily detectable by TikTok’s algorithm). They look the same as a normal account.
Therefore, you must resort to manual ways to stop these bots from following you. Here are some of these ways:
Block them
Blocking a bot is the best way to stop it from following you again. Though this method will not stop new bots from following you, it will surely help you eliminate the ones you already know of. Here’s how you can block someone from your Following list on TikTok:
Step 1: Open TikTok and log into your account.
Step 2: Head to the profile section of your TikTok account by tapping on the Me icon. The icon is in the bottom-right corner of the screen.4
Step 3: You will see three figures at the top of your profile screen, just below your profile picture: Following, Followers, and Likes. Tap on Followers to view the list of your followers.
Step 4: Find the bot account from the list and tap on its name to go to the bot’s profile.
Step 5: Tap on the three dots in the top-right corner of the profile and tap on the Block icon. Then tap on Confirm to block the account.
Go private
If you are not an active TikToker and are not into uploading videos, this is a great option to filter out bot accounts.
