You can see who views your TikTok videos and profile, but there are specific conditions and settings involved:
- TikTok allows users to see who viewed their profile for up to 30 days if they are at least 16 years old, have fewer than 5,000 followers, and have enabled the "Profile view history" feature in privacy settings. If you meet these criteria, you can see a list of users who visited your profile, but private accounts or those who disabled this feature won't appear
- Similarly, TikTok has a "Post view history" feature that lets you see who viewed your videos in the last 7 days. To use this, you must enable the feature in your privacy settings. When enabled, you can tap the view count on your video to see viewers. However, if you have more than 5,000 followers, you won't see a full list of viewers, only some insights such as who liked or commented
- Enabling these features means other users can also see when you view their profiles or videos, so it is a mutual visibility setting
- To enable or disable these features:
- Open TikTok app and go to your Profile.
- Tap the menu (three lines) and select Settings and privacy.
- Tap Privacy.
- Toggle on/off "Profile views" and/or "Post views" as desired
- TikTok does not count your own views on your videos, and viewers must watch for a minimum duration (at least 1 second, or 3 seconds for videos over 3 minutes) for the view to count
In summary, TikTok now provides ways to see who viewed your profile and videos, but mainly for accounts with fewer than 5,000 followers and with the relevant settings enabled. For larger accounts, detailed viewer lists are not available, but you can still track engagement through likes, comments, and shares
