[FAQ]

Hi everyone,

I’ve heard from some friends that it’s possible to see a list of people who have recently viewed your TikTok profile. I’ve looked around in my settings but I can’t seem to find it.

Can anyone explain how to find and turn on this feature in the app as of June 2025? I’m also wondering if there are any special requirements to use it, or if turning it on means that other people will now be able to see when I view their profiles.

Thanks for any help on this!

TikTok does have a feature called “Profile view history” that allows you to see some of the accounts that have viewed your profile, but it operates with specific conditions that you need to be aware of.

First, to enable the feature, you need to navigate to your Settings and Privacy. You can do this by going to your profile page, tapping the three-line menu icon in the top-right corner, and then selecting “Settings and Privacy.” From there, tap on “Privacy,” and then scroll down to find the “Profile views” or “Profile view history” option. You will find a toggle switch there to turn the feature on.

Second, the most important aspect of this feature is that it is reciprocal. You can only see who has viewed your profile if you have the feature turned on AND the other person also has the feature turned on. If either one of you has it disabled, the view will not be registered or displayed in the history. This means by turning it on, you are also consenting to others seeing when you view their profile, provided they also have the feature enabled.

Third, the feature has a time limitation. It does not provide a permanent log of every visitor you have ever had. It only shows you a list of profile viewers from within a recent period, which is typically the last 30 days.

Fourth, there can be eligibility requirements. Historically, this feature has required users to be over 16 years of age and have fewer than 5,000 followers. This follower cap is generally in place to help protect the privacy of larger creators. If you do not see the option in your settings, it may be because your account does not currently meet these criteria.

Once the feature is enabled, you can usually access the list of your recent profile viewers by tapping on an “eye” icon that may appear in the top-right corner of your profile page, or by checking your notifications.

In summary, you can see some of your recent profile viewers by enabling the “Profile view history” feature in your privacy settings. However, it is a reciprocal system that only works if both parties have opted in, and it is generally only available for accounts under a certain follower threshold.

Cheers,

Jeff
