TikTok and its Chinese version, Douyin are owned by ByteDance and host short-form user-submitted videos. Douyin was released in China in 2016, while TikTok launched globally in 2017 and became available worldwide after merging with Musical.ly in 2018. Although the two apps have almost identical interfaces, they do not share content and have separate servers based on the market. Both platforms have gained immense popularity globally, with TikTok surpassing 2 billion mobile downloads worldwide in 2020 and being ranked as the most popular website of 2021 by Cloudflare. However, TikTok has also faced criticism for issues such as addiction, inappropriate content, misinformation, censorship, moderation, and user privacy.
TikTok Profile viewing
If you've ever been curious about who has been checking out your social media profiles, you might be disappointed to learn that most platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter don't allow you to see who has viewed your profile. However, TikTok is one of the few social media platforms that allows you to track profile visitors for free. This feature can be particularly useful for creators who want to better understand their audience and create content tailored to their demographics. For casual users, it can be a fun way to satisfy their curiosity, or it can even help them identify potential stalkers or romantic interests. Although TikTok had previously provided this feature, it was removed before being replaced with an improved "profile view history" in 2022, which is now available on both the Android and iOS versions of the app.
How to see Profile Views on TikTok?
-
TikTok's profile view tracking feature is not yet available to all users, but it is expected to be expanded in the future. Currently, it is only available to users over 16 years old and with fewer than 5,000 followers.
-
The reason for the follower restriction is due to the difficulty of managing a long list of Profile Views. Accounts with a large number of followers would have extensive lists.
-
Using the feature is very simple and only requires one click. A new eye icon will appear on your TikTok profile in the top right corner, and clicking on it will give you the option to turn the feature on. Once activated, you can see a list of Profile Views in the last 30 days by clicking on the eye icon again.
-
It's essential to note that while you can see who has viewed your profile, nobody else can see it. However, if you activate the feature, you're consenting to let others know when you've viewed their profile.
- To disable the feature, you need to click on the hamburger menu in your settings, select Settings, then Privacy, Privacy again, Profile Views, and finally Profile View History.
