So, without further ado, let’s get started.
How Do TikTok Views Work?
So, what exactly counts as a view on a TikTok video? Just like on many other platforms, every time someone watches your video, the view counter goes up. There are two main ways you might view a video on TikTok: The length of time you watch the video doesn’t matter. Even if you just scroll past it without stopping to watch the whole thing, it still counts as a view in TikTok’s system.
Can You See Who Viewed Your TikTok Video?
Just like Facebook and Instagram, TikTok does not have a feature that allows you to see exactly which accounts have watched your videos. While you can see who liked or commented on your video, even TikTok’s Analytics tools do not reveal the specific accounts that viewed your content. The only way to know if a particular person has watched your video is if they decide to like it or leave a comment. Otherwise, the viewers’ identities remain private.
Can the Other Users See If I Viewed a TikTok Video?
You might also wonder if other users or the creator of a video can see that you specifically watched it. The answer is NO: TikTok does not show anyone a list of accounts that contribute to the view count of a video. So, you can watch any video freely without worrying about your name appearing anywhere. If you want to stay completely anonymous, just avoid liking or commenting on the video.
Can People See Who Viewed Their TikTok Profile?
TikTok does have a feature called Profile View, which lets users see which accounts have visited their profile. However, this only works if both you and the other person have this feature turned on. By default, Profile View is switched off for all accounts. To learn how to enable this feature and to get more details, check out our guide: How To Turn On Profile Views ➜
