TikTok, a Gen-Z social media platform, is always in the headlines due to its popularity.
The app’s high volume of active users means that it is always being updated with new features, which can leave you with plenty of questions.
How about we tackle one of the most popular TikTok viewer questions?
No, you won’t be able to see the names of the people who watched your TikTok video on the site, but however, you can see the total number of people who watched your video.
Prior to early 2020, there existed a workaround where the viewer’s name could also be seen along with the TikTok view count, but that feature is no longer available.
The reason for this feature’s removal is still a mystery because TikTok never gave a heads-up for such a change nor provided an explanation for it later.
There may not be a way to know for sure who has viewed your videos on TikTok, but you can surely make some educated guesses.
In your Activity section, you can see whoever liked, commented, or otherwise interacted with your video — these are the people who have undoubtedly viewed your video. However, apart from this, there isn’t anything else you can do to know more about the viewers of your content.
A little tip: Just like TikTok removed this functionality from the app, it is very possible that the company will restore it at some point in the future, so we can be surely hopeful for that!
Well, the direct answer here is a NO. TikTok does not have the option to see the individual profiles who viewed your TikTok Stories.
Although other social networking sites like Instagram, Facebook, and WhatsApp have an exclusive feature that allows you to know who has viewed your stories as well as when they were viewed, TikTok still doesn’t offer this to its creators.
However, we wouldn’t be surprised if that feature was available to us in the near future as the app is evolving continuously.
Well, before you panic about your crush finding out that you viewed their profile, this is not an automatic feature, you have manually opt-in for this.
The accounts that have also turned on this feature and have viewed your profile in the past 30 days (that is, your recent TikTok profile views) will appear in your profile view history.
Similarly, if you visit another account’s profile page and they’ve also turned on this setting, they’ll be able to see that you visited their profile.
Therefore, unless you don’t switch on your “profile history” the other person won’t know if you visited their profile.
You can turn on and off your Profile view history feature in 2 ways:
Step 1
Login to your TikTok account from your TikTok app and tap on the “Profile” icon in the bottom right corner of your screen.
Step 2
Next, tap on the 3-line menu icon on the top right corner of your screen and then head on to “Settings”
Step 3
Now, tap on the “Settings and Privacy” option.
Step 4
Next, tap “Privacy” and then go to “Profile views”
Step 5
Lastly, click on the toggle icon placed just next to the “Profile view history” option and turn it on or off.
Step 1
Open your TikTok app and click on the “Inbox” icon at the bottom of your screen.
Step 2
Now scroll down and tap on the notification that displays “Someone has viewed your profile”.
Step 3
Once you get redirected to your “Profile views” page, tap on the “Settings” icon on the top right of your screen.
Step 4
Lastly, click on the toggle icon placed just next to the “TikTok Profile view history” option and turn it on or off.
Understanding the engagement that your videos receive and how to strengthen them is something that always matters, regardless of how long you have been using TikTok or how new you are to the platform.
TikTok analytics is one of the tools offered by the TikTok app that enables you to explore the various video engagement metrics and understand how well your videos are doing.
The analytics section tracks everything from the number of times your video or profile has been viewed to the total number of likes, comments, and shares it has received, as well as the number of people who have seen your Live videos, along with the average amount of time people spend watching your videos and things along those lines.
However, in order to use the analytics feature, the following conditions must be satisfied:

Curious as to where and how to find the metrics? Actually, it’s pretty straightforward!
Step 1: Login to your Tik Tok app and tap on the “Profile” icon on the bottom right of your screen.
Step 2: Tap on the “3-line icon” on the top right corner of your screen
Step 3: Next, go to “Creator tools” (comes under TikTok Creator Fund) and tap on “Analytics”
Step 4: Lastly, you’ll be redirected to the analytics where you can view all the metrics!
The best aspect of TikTok analytics is that you can examine the overall analytics by setting the time frame to the last 7 days, 28 days, 60 days, or even a custom period — making the whole process of tracking your progress much more convenient.
While it may be tempting to use a third-party tool that claims to disclose which users/followers viewed your TikTok video, doing so is a risky move.
If you’re looking for the safest option, it’s better to stay away from third-party apps altogether because of all the permissions and access to the personal information they typically demand.
When it comes to your own personal safety, you shouldn’t let anything come before it, which is why TikTok itself includes a warning in its guidelines about the risks of installing third-party apps.
YES, you can surely view someone’s TikTok profile without giving them any evidence that you have done so.
All you need to do is disable “Profile Views” in the privacy settings, and you’re done. You can proceed with your mild stalking spree without worrying about getting caught! 😉
However, in this situation, even you won’t be able to see who is viewing your videos and visiting your profile.
If you’re hoping for a privacy setting that allows only you to see who visited your profile and prevents other people from knowing when you visited their profile, we’re sorry to disappoint you, but such a feature doesn’t exist!
