Keeping Your TikTok Private

On some social media platforms, you can see who has viewed your stories or videos. TikTok shows how many views your posts have, but does it show who viewed your posts or profile? This wikiHow article explains whether TikTok users can see who viewed their videos and profile, and shows you how to limit who can see your profile and posts.

Can people see who views their TikTok?

If you have fewer than 5000 followers, you can turn on Post View History to see who has viewed your videos in the last 7 days. You can only see views from people who follow you and have also enabled Post View History. Profile View History works similarly, but instead shows you who has viewed your profile.

Limit who can see your videos. If you don't want to make your whole TikTok account private, you can change the privacy settings for individual videos you post. By default, when you post a video, everyone can see it. You can limit posts to “Friends’ only” so that only people who follow you can see the video, or “Only me,” which hides your video from everyone except you. When you post a video, you can tap “Everyone can view this post” and change the privacy settings. Alternatively, you can use the following steps to change the privacy settings for videos you’ve already posted:^{[3]
