In the early days of TikTok, it was difficult to get this type of information but with the recent release of the Profile View History feature, users can now access this data easily. The one caveat of the Profile View History is that it only shows the usernames of people who also have the Profile View History settings enabled for their account. This means that you will not be able to see users who view your TikTok profile in this list if they do not also have these settings enabled. This can be frustrating as it could lead to you not being able to accurately tell who all has been viewing your profile. This guide will contain detailed information regarding the Profile View History feature and the limitations placed on the interactions you can have with accounts you are not currently friends with on the TikTok application.
Can Someone See That I Viewed Their TikTok Profile If We Are Not Friends?
If you have your Profile View History setting enabled, someone will very easily be able to see that you have viewed their TikTok profile. Users can access their Profile View History by tapping the eye icon at the top of their profile screen. This will bring up a list of all of the recent viewers of their TikTok profile. If you have these settings enabled on your account, you will appear in this list. This will make it very easy to determine that you have been viewing their profile. If you wish to keep your viewing of their profile a secret, you should consider disabling the Profile View History settings for your own account. This will keep you from showing up in their list of recent viewers but it will also keep you from knowing any information regarding the people who have viewed your profile. The information in the Profile View History does not expire until after 30 days and will be able to be viewed by the user in that timeframe. This means that it will be difficult to keep your viewing of a profile a secret if you both have the Profile View History settings enabled on your accounts. There is a chance that you will not be noticed if the owner of the TikTok profile does not check their Profile View History within 30 days of you viewing their profile.
Can You See Who Viewed Your TikTok Profile If They Haven’t Followed You?
As long as you both have your Profile View History settings enabled for your accounts, you will be able to see anyone who views your profile regardless of whether or not they currently follow you on the application. You can enable these settings by opening up the TikTok application and navigating to your profile page by tapping it in the lower right-hand corner of the screen. On your profile page, you will see an eye-shaped icon in the top right next to your username. Tap the eye-shaped icon and select the option to Turn On. Once you have turned on the Profile View History settings by tapping the eye-shaped icon and selecting Turn On, you will be able to see a list of everyone that has viewed your TikTok profile in the last 30 days. You will see the usernames and profile pictures of these users and will be able to follow them using the Follow button beside their names. To turn off the Profile View History settings for your account, you will need to open the list of recent viewers and tap the gear icon located in the top right of the screen. This will bring up a menu where you will be able to edit your Profile View History settings. You will need to have your Profile View History settings enabled if you wish to view the list of people who do not follow you that have viewed your account. If the person who has viewed your account does not have these settings enabled on their account, you will not be able to find their username and profile picture in this list. This means that there could potentially be users that don’t follow you viewing your TikTok profile that you are not aware of.
Can Someone See You Viewed Their Profile If Their TikTok Profile is Public
Any time that you view someone’s TikTok profile, you will be added to their Profile View History list as long as you both have the settings enabled on your accounts. You will need to enable these settings on your account if you wish to have access to this type of viewer information. If you wish to keep your viewing of someone’s TikTok profile a secret, you should turn off the Profile View History settings for your account. This will keep your name from appearing in this list and let you browse TikTok profiles with a certain level of anonymity. If you do wind up in the Profile View History list for a TikTok profile, you will remain there for 30 days. Once 30 days have passed, your name will be removed from this list as long as you do not revisit the profile during that time.
