As mentioned earlier, TikTok will send out notifications to other users on their home screen and in the app, when you deliberately or accidentally like their videos. 

What TikTok won’t do is notify the person back when you unlike their videos. But the notification won’t go away.

Furthermore, unfollowing the person won’t make TikTok delete the notification from the person’s inbox. 

The notification won’t disappear if you decide to block the person.
