How to delete a comment on TikTok
Once a TikTok comment has been posted, you cannot edit it. However, deleting a comment is simple.
1. Open the TikTok comment thread that includes the comment you wish to delete. Note that you can only delete comments you have made; you cannot delete other users' comments.
2. Tap and hold on the comment that you want to delete.
3. Tap "Delete."
Your comment should no longer be visible on the thread. You cannot retrieve a comment once it has been deleted, so if you simply made a typo and just want to edit your original comment, tap "Copy" before you tap "Delete." Then, you can paste the text of the original comment into a new comment and edit the text before reposting.
