How to enable and disable comments on TikTok

Did you know that you can easily disable or enable comments for any of the TikTok videos you post? Yes, that's correct. Whether it is a new video that you want to post or an earlier posted video, you can disable or enable comments for any of those types of videos.

By default, the comments are enabled. However, you might want to disable them later for some reason(s), like users posting abusive comments, criticizing for no valid reason, trying to promote their videos, posting spam in the comments section, posting irrelevant comments, etc. Whatever your reason for disabling the comments, you can learn to do it by reading this article and applying the steps below.

For a single video

You can disable or enable comments for a video you posted earlier. The steps are listed below.
