You can see who viewed your TikTok profile and videos by enabling specific features in the TikTok app, but there are important limitations and privacy considerations.
How to See Who Viewed Your TikTok Profile
- Enable Profile View History:
- Open TikTok and go to your profile.
- Tap the menu icon (three lines) in the top right corner.
- Select Settings and privacy > Privacy > Profile views.
- Turn on the toggle for profile views.
- View Your Profile Visitors:
- After enabling, tap the footprint (or feet) icon at the top of your profile page.
- You will see a list of users who have viewed your profile in the last 30 days, but only if those users also have profile view history enabled.
- Private accounts or users who have disabled this feature will not appear in the list.
- Requirements and Limitations:
- You must be at least 16 years old.
- You can only see viewers if you have fewer than 5,000 followers.
- The feature works on a mutual opt-in basis-both you and the viewer must have it enabled.
- TikTok does not show how many times someone viewed your profile, only the most recent visit.
- Turning this feature on means others can also see when you view their profiles
How to See Who Viewed Your TikTok Videos (Post Views)
- Enable Post Views:
- Open TikTok and go to your profile.
- Tap the menu icon > Settings and privacy > Privacy > Post Views.
- Turn on the toggle for post views.
- Check Video Viewers:
- Open the video you want to check.
- Tap the comment icon.
- At the top of the comments section, tap Views to see a list of followers who viewed the video in the past 7 days.
- Like profile views, this only shows viewers who also have the feature enabled.
- Additional Notes:
- TikTok counts a view only if the video is watched for at least 1 second (or 3 seconds for videos longer than 3 minutes).
- Your own views on your videos do not count.
- Post view history lasts only 7 days

These features offer some insight into who is engaging with your TikTok content, but TikTok prioritizes user privacy and mutual consent, so you won’t get a complete or unlimited list of viewers
. If you want to track live view counts or follower counts, third-party tools like TokCounter or Livecounts.io provide real-time statistics but do not reveal individual viewers
. This approach helps you see who viewed your TikTok profile and videos within TikTok's privacy framework.
