You unfortunately cannot remove multiple tags at once and have to follow these steps for each video you wish to untag yourself from.
TikTok users expressed their concern and annoyance through social media platforms regarding the constant spam tagging.
One user wrote on Twitter: “Anyone else getting spam tagged on tiktok? It’s the same video that doesn’t play and I’ve had about 15 of them so far.”
Another tweet followed all the upset users: “Hey uh, @tiktok_us? If I get tagged in one more of these spam-bot videos that all look exactly like this, I’m going to lose my mind. I’ve blocked and reported SIX videos and accounts posting them so far TODAY ALONE, and it just keeps happening. What is going on.”
