TikTok's international popularity is huge. Statista data shows users spent an average of 23.3 hours per month on Tiktok in 2022.

This is an increase from the previous year's 19.6 hours. TikTok users in the US spend approximately 26.48 hours every month, a 23% increase since 2020. The average in the United Kingdom is more than 27 hours. Excessive TikTok use might have a strong impact on people's mental health and social interactions. One way to curb this addiction is to block TikTok on your iPhone. This article will show you 3 methods to block TikTok on your iPhone.

🔒 3 Simple Methods to Block TikTok on iPhone

One effective way to handle addiction is to cut off the source. Blocking TikTok on your iPhone is an effective way to limit your time on the app. The methods below will help you limit your TikTok screen time and use it for more productive activities.

Method 1: Set up 1 min Daily App Limit for TikTok on your iPhone.

You can use the Screen Time feature to block TikTok on your iPhone. The Screen Time feature tracks your app usage and lets you set limits for specific apps. If TikTok takes up too much of your time or negatively impacts your life, this tool is useful.

To set up app limits for TikTok, follow these steps:

1️⃣ Open the Settings on your iPhone

2️⃣ Scroll down and tap on Screen Time

3️⃣ Tap on "App Limits"

4️⃣ Tap on "Add Limit" and select TikTok (under "Social") from the list of app categories

5️⃣ Set a time limit for TikTok. The minimum is 1 min every day and that's what we choose to "block" TikTok using this Screen Time iPhone feature. Tap on Add and your time limit is complete.

When you set a time limit for TikTok through App Limits, you'll get a notification once that limit is reached.

However, you can still use TikTok after this by selecting "Ignore Limit", that's why the 2nd method is way more effective if you feel you would be tempted to ignore the limit.

Method 2: Jomo (The Easiest and most Effective Way to Block TikTok)

Jomo is a straightforward yet powerful app blocker. This app aims to help you limit your phone usage, supporting healthy digital health. To use Jomo to disable TikTok on your iPhone, follow these 4 steps:

To use Jomo to block TikTok on your iPhone, follow these 4 steps:

1️⃣ Install Jomo app through the App Store and launch the app

2️⃣ Go in "Rules" and then tap on the "+" to select "Start blocking session"

3️⃣ Choose "App blocked" and select "TikTok" in "Social" to block TikTok

4️⃣ In "Timing" change "Scheduled" to "Always on"

5️⃣ Tap on Start to start blocking TikTok

Jomo also helps you analyze your usage pattern to understand better where most of the consumed time goes. It will also guide you in recognizing patterns that you can change to improve your screen-time habits. We recommend you use the Jomo app to effectively block TikTok on your iPhone. It's user-friendly and promotes digital health and well-being.

PS: In Jomo, you can also use the pre-made template "Conscious use" to block TikTok. This way, you can block TikTok by default and only unlock it when you REALLY need it.

Method 3: TikTok App Limit

During its development, TikTok added a feature to define a time limit. Here's how to activate this feature:

1️⃣ Open TikTok and go to "Profile"

2️⃣ Tap on the 3 bars icon, then open the "Settings and Privacy" of TikTok

3️⃣ Go to "Screen Time"

4️⃣ Define your daily screen time and set up a password. After the time limit, you must enter this password to continue using TikTok.

This method can be effective for some very strong-minded people. But often, after trying it, the temptation to enter the code (displayed on the gray blocking message) overrides reason. That's why the first two methods are more effective.

On the other hand, if you want to ban TikTok completely from your Internet network, follow the bonus method below.
