# Filter TikTok comments and review hidden replies

By HeyMark · Updated October 14, 2026

If you receive unwanted comments on TikTok, you can turn on filters, hide comments that contain selected words, or use Creator Care Mode for inappropriate or offensive comments. Filtered comments wait for review in the app, where you can approve or delete each one. This gives you a chance to look at a comment before deciding what to do.

Control names may vary with your app language. TikTok's [official comment help](https://support.tiktok.com/en/account-and-privacy/account-privacy-settings/manage-comments) documents the route in English. If you also review comments in a tool, HeyMark's [comment moderation solution](https://heymark.ai/en/solutions/comment-moderation/) explains that workflow.

## Choose what to filter

- **Unwanted comments:** hides recent comments that may be spam or offensive until you review them.
- **Keywords:** hides comments with terms you add, such as the name of a recurring fake promotion.
- **Creator Care Mode:** hides comments TikTok considers inappropriate, offensive, or profane, along with comments previously reported, deleted, or disliked.
- **Filter all comments:** hides every comment until you approve it. TikTok says this setting is not available to everyone.

A filter can hold back a valid comment. Before adding keywords, check whether a term also appears in real questions, product names, or useful instructions for your customers.

## Turn on a filter and review the queue

<ol>
<li>In the TikTok app, open <strong>Profile</strong> and tap the ☰ menu.</li>
<li>Go to <strong>Settings and privacy</strong>, then <strong>Privacy</strong>, then <strong>Comments</strong>.</li>
<li>Under comment filters, turn on the unwanted comment filter or Creator Care Mode. For keywords, open the keyword filter, turn on filtering for specific terms, and add the words you want to hold.</li>
<li>Return to <strong>Comments</strong> and open <strong>Review filtered comments</strong>. Choose approve or delete for each item.</li>
</ol>

Fictional example: a plant shop gets repeated comments with a link to a fake promotion. It turns on the spam filter, adds the promotion name as a keyword, and reviews the queue. If a real question uses the same term, the team approves it and removes or adjusts the keyword to avoid similar holds.

Check **Review filtered comments** to confirm the outcome: held comments appear there for a decision. Approving returns a comment to the conversation; deleting removes it. If you can't see a control, that option may not be available for your account. TikTok does not promise to detect every spam or offensive comment, so review the queue regularly and adjust keywords when they cause false positives.
