TikTok allows users to see a list of users who have recently viewed their profile. This can give TikTok users insight into who is interested in their content. Here is a detailed look at how TikTok’s profile view history works.
Who can see your profile views?
Only the owner of a TikTok account can see who has viewed their profile recently. Other users cannot see who has viewed your profile. The profile view history is private and only visible to you.
Where do you find profile views?
To see your TikTok profile views, open the TikTok app and go to your profile page. Tap on the “Views” tab, which will be next to the “Likes” and “Followers” tabs. This will open up a list of users who have recently viewed your profile.
What information is shown about profile views?
For each user who viewed your profile, you’ll see their profile picture, username, and the time they viewed your profile shown below their name. TikTok shows the most recent profile views first.
How far back does view history go?
TikTok’s profile view history shows the last 30 days of views. Any profile views older than 30 days will disappear from the list. So the view history gives you insight into who has been looking at your profile recently, not all-time views.
Does viewing profiles show up in view history?
Yes, if you view someone else’s TikTok profile, your profile picture and name will show up in their profile view history. The only way to look at a profile privately is by switching to a secondary “ghost” account not connected to your main profile.
Can you remove users from your view history?
No, there is no way to erase specific users from your profile view history on TikTok. The list will change automatically as new viewers replace old viewers after 30 days.
Can you turn off view history?
There is no setting in TikTok to disable your profile view history. The feature is automatically part of all TikTok accounts. If you do not want people to see that they viewed your profile, the only option is to use a private “ghost” account.
Who can see your ghost profile views?
Ghost accounts on TikTok are fully private and anonymous. If you view a profile from a ghost account, it will not show up in that user’s view history at all. Ghost accounts give you private browsing without alerting other users.
Does live viewer count affect view history?
Viewing a TikTok user’s live stream does not get added to their profile view history. The live viewer count is separate from profile views. Only visiting the static profile page adds to the view history list.
Do TikTok ads and suggested profiles count as views?
No, profile views only count if a user proactively chooses to visit your profile. Seeing your profile in an advertisement or in TikTok’s suggestions does not add you to their view history.
Can you hide your profile from certain followers?
No, it’s not possible to hide your TikTok profile from specific followers. If someone is following you, they can always view your profile. The only way to block a follower from viewing your profile is to fully block their account.
Does blocking users remove them from your views?
Blocking someone on TikTok will also remove them from your profile view history if they had previously looked at your profile. It essentially erases them from your follower list and view history.
Can you see who viewed your video?
TikTok does not show who specifically watched your videos in your view history. It only shows the users who visited your profile page itself. There is no viewer history for individual TikTok videos.
Does deleting your account erase the view history?
Yes, if you delete your TikTok account entirely, your profile view history will be permanently deleted along with the rest of your account data. No records are kept after account deletion.
Do views notify the account owner?
No, TikTok does not send notifications when someone views your profile. The only way to know is to regularly check your view history tab in the app. Views happen silently in the background without alerts.
Can you see who viewed your profile first?
The profile view history does not indicate which users were the first to view your profile. It only shows the last 30 days in chronological order. There is no data on who viewed your profile when you first created it.
Does deleting the app erase view history?
No, uninstalling the TikTok app from your device does not affect your profile view history. The view data is tied to your account, not a specific app install. Your history will still be there if you reinstall TikTok.
Do views show your exact content watched?
The profile view history only shows the date/time someone loaded your profile. It does not reveal exactly what videos or content they watched while viewing your profile. It does not track their scrolling or taps.
Can you manipulate your own view count?
Repeatedly viewing your own profile does not increase your view count. TikTok’s algorithm is designed to detect fake views from the same account to prevent view count inflation. Self-views are excluded from view history.
Conclusion
TikTok’s profile view history gives users insight into who has been interacting with their profile recently. While it doesn’t reveal detailed analytics, it can help TikTok creators gauge audience interest levels. Monitoring views over time can indicate whether a profile is growing or declining in popularity.
