If you are wondering whether there’s any way to see who exactly has viewed your profile on TikTok, and whether other people can tell if you’ve seen theirs, here’s everything to know.
Over the past few years, TikTok has been on a rapid rise in popularity, becoming the center of the internet’s most viral content.
From dancing, to life hacks, challenges, filters, and more, this app seems to have everything, and that has meant that a huge range of different communities have formed on the platform, with lots of different creator profiles to flick through.
However, as you take a look at different peoples’ profiles, you may be wondering whether they are able to see if you have viewed them.
It used to be the case on the app that you could tap your notification tab and look at the ‘viewed my profile’ section to see who had viewed your profile, and at one point would even receive notifications to alert you to new profile views. But is that still a feature?
Can people see who viewed their TikTok profile?
Yes, creators can see some of the people who viewed their TikTok profile, as long as they have the profile views feature enabled.
Although TikTok removed the ability to see who has viewed your profile a while back, in January 2022 there were reports that TikTok was adding the feature back in on an opt-in basis.
Users started reporting that the feature had returned in February, although not everyone was happy to see it make a comeback.
It’s not possible to see exactly who has viewed your videos, however. People can see how many times a video has been viewed from the thumbnail on their profile page, but this doesn’t include information about specific accounts.
