TikTok has stated that it is currently testing a feature that allows users to dislike specific comments on videos.
According to a blog post about community guidelines enforcement and safety, the feature will allow users to flag comments that they deem unnecessary or unsuitable without their distaste being shown to other users.
When a person dislikes a comment, it is not made public, and commenters are not told that their comment has been hated. Commenters and other users will also be unable to see how many times a particular comment has been disliked.
The platform appears to have been working on the hate button for some time. Matt Navarra, a social media expert, first noticed the function earlier this year.

This feedback from the community will be added to the list of parameters we already consider to make the comment section relevant and a place for true conversation.
TikTok viewers can now dislike videos to express their disinterest in a certain sort of material. The comment dislike option, on the other hand, appears to be available alongside the report button for offences. The new feature is undergoing testing in a few regions, with the exception of the United States.
