If you haven’t heard of TikTok, you’re certainly not the Internet teenager making videos on the platform and becoming famous in no time.
With over a billion users worldwide, TikTok has made a mark on the market and blew up the content market like anything. It is undoubtedly the fastest growing social media platform with videos of everything from dances, lip syncs and makeup tutorials to tricks, transitions and more.
But have you ever wondered if an ex or high school crush visited your TikTok account and watched your videos? It might be possible with new TikTok features being developed or old wise ones coming back! In this article, we are going to discuss how you can see who viewed your TikTok videos or visited your TikTok account. So let’s get the ball rolling and get in right away!
How to see who viewed your videos on TikTok?
Unfortunately, you can’t see who specifically viewed your TikTok videos. TikTok has allowed its users to this day only to be able to check the number of views a TikTok video gets. However, you can’t see the accounts where those views came from.
TikTok follows the same concept with its new Stories feature. Although users will now know who favorited their video, they still won’t be able to see who exactly has viewed it, and will only see how many views a TikTok story gets. Unlike Instagram and Snapchat, the option to hide views or likes and comments is not optional.
How to see who viewed your profile on TikTok?
The feature to see who viewed your profile used to exist, but was removed in 2021. However, it was added back in March 2022, although it is optional. If you are using an older version, you will be able to see your profile visitors. In newer versions, you can only see who visited your profile if you have their profile history turned on, even if they didn’t interact with your content. Although it was not known if the TikTok feature will ever return, it is also not available on many other social media platforms. You can’t see who is checking your profile, taking screenshots, or harassing you.
TikTok introduced the TikTok Pro accounts option, which is an analytics type tool. It provides insight into how many people your content is reaching and lets you get an idea of which videos perform better than others so you can increase your following. However, TikTok Pro’s analytics feature cannot give you specific information about who is viewing your profile and only focuses on providing an understanding of audience interactions and engagements. Now let’s see how you can see who viewed your profile.
- First of all, you need to enable your profile views.
Note: The profile views option is optional, so if you want to use it, you’ll need to enable it.
- Go to Settings by tapping on the three-line menu on the right side of your profile.
- Then select Settings and Privacy < Privacy.
- Now tap on Profile Views and turn on Profile View History by enabling the bar in green.
- Once you’ve enabled the feature, an eye icon will appear at the top of your inbox. Tap on it and you can see who viewed your profile in the last 30 days.
- TikTok will display the account name and profile photo so you can see who has been visiting your profile.
Note: Please note that other people can also see when you view your profile if they have their Profile History enabled.
Although it is an interesting feature of TikTok, it is not yet available to everyone. If you don’t have a ‘Profile Views’ section in your Settings, don’t worry. Like many TikTok features, this one too is gradually rolling out around the world.
When the feature becomes available, a pop-up window will appear saying “Turn on profile viewing history” as shown in the image above. Make sure you have the latest available version of TikTok so you can use the latest features.
How to control who sees your account?
Without a doubt, TikTok has become a go-to for celebrities, comedians, athletes, and brands. There are many people who are in the content creation industry, and nowadays many people have become celebrities in the industry solely for making videos.
Setting an account to Private means that no one except users who have individually accepted the follow request will be able to see your content. If you are a normal TikTok user who does not want to be famous, then you can go for this option. Here are the steps for it:
- Tap the Me icon at the bottom right of the app.
- Then tap on the three-dot menu at the top right corner.
- Select Privacy and on the Privacy Account tab, toggle the switch to make your account private.
Now your account has become private and unknown users will not be able to see your content. However, if you have a handful of such users, you can try to block them.
To control who sees your posts while keeping your account public, the best option available is to block problematic users. Although there would still be ways for them to continue to stalk your account, such as creating another fake account, you can try the method anyway to see if that helps. The steps to follow are those:
- Visit the profile of the user you want to block.
- Tap the three-dot menu icon at the top right of the screen.
- Then select Block in the pop-up box that appears.
This way you can block as many users as you want and keep your account public at the same time.
