Who viewed my TikTok profile?

The TikTok profile view history feature allows you to see who’s viewed your profile within the last 30 days.

“Only accounts that have also turned on this feature and have viewed your profile in the past 30 days will appear in your profile view history,” TikTok says on its support page. In other words, the stalking is a two-way street.

You also must be at least 16 years old and have fewer than 5,000 followers. TikTok gives no explanation regarding the follower maximum, but presumably accounts with 5,000-plus followers have a high volume of views.

This feature is turned off by default, but it’s easy to change. Just follow these simple steps and you’ll be able to see who’s looking at your profile in no time.

You can also turn the feature off at anytime. Read how below.
