Reporting Self-Harm on TikTok

As part of our commitment to user safety and well-being, TikTok provides tools to report self-harm-related content. If you come across any content indicating self-harm or someone in need of help, please report it. Reporting such content is encouraged, and there will be no penalties for doing so.

To report a video related to self-harm, follow these steps:

Tap the arrow at the bottom right-hand corner of the video.
Tap the report icon.
Select 'Self injury' and follow the prompts.

In addition to reporting self-harm-related videos, you can also provide support by directing fellow users to the following resources:

At TikTok, we prioritize the well-being of our users and encourage our community members to support one another.
