Many TikTok users wonder: can I see who viewed my profile? The answer is yes — but only in certain cases. TikTok has a feature called Profile Views that shows you who visited your profile, but it depends on your settings and the other person’s settings.
In this guide, you’ll learn how the feature works, how to turn it on or off, and how it affects your privacy.
Does TikTok tell you who viewed your profile?
TikTok sometimes lets you see who viewed your profile. This depends on whether you have the Profile Views feature enabled.
If both you and the viewer have this feature turned on, their name will appear in your Profile Views list. If either person has it turned off, the visit will not appear.
What is the TikTok Profile Views feature?
The Profile Views feature shows a list of people who visited your TikTok profile in the past 30 days.
If your account is eligible, you’ll see a Profile Views tab when you visit your profile. This tab lists visitors by name, starting with the most recent.
TikTok is still rolling out this feature, so not all users will have it yet. You also need to be over age 16 and have fewer than 5,000 followers to access Profile Views in most cases.
How to see who viewed your TikTok profile
If you have the feature, it’s easy to check who viewed your profile. Here’s how:
- Open the TikTok app.
- Go to your Profile page.
- Look for the Profile Views icon (an eye symbol) at the top of your profile.
- Tap the icon to open your Profile Views list.
- View the list of users who visited your profile in the past 30 days.
If you don’t see the Profile Views icon, your account may not be eligible or the feature may not be rolled out to your region yet.
How to turn Profile Views on or off
You can choose whether to use Profile Views. To turn it on or off:
- Open the TikTok app.
- Go to your Profile.
- Tap the Menu (three lines) in the top right.
- Select Settings and Privacy.
- Tap Privacy.
- Tap Profile Views.
- Toggle Profile View History on or off.
When this is turned off, others won’t see if you viewed their profile, and you won’t see who viewed yours.
Can others see when you view their profile?
Yes — but only if both of you have Profile Views turned on.
If the feature is off for either person, the profile visit stays private. If you want to browse profiles without being seen, turn off Profile Views in your settings.
Why can’t I see Profile Views?
If you don’t see the option to view Profile Views, here are possible reasons:
- The feature hasn’t rolled out to your region yet.
- You are under age 16.
- Your account has more than 5,000 followers.
- You are using a Business or Creator account (sometimes restricted).
- Your app is outdated — update TikTok to the latest version.
TikTok Profile Views and privacy tips
Profile Views can be helpful, but it also affects your privacy. Here are a few tips:
- If you want to browse profiles without being seen, turn off Profile Views.
- Remember: when Profile Views is on, others can see if you visit their profile.
- You can control this setting anytime in your Privacy menu.
- Regularly check your privacy settings to match your comfort level.
