With the new “Profile View History” TikTok feature, you can track down the visitors on your TikTok profile. However, this feature is not automatically set on. You have to activate it.
When other users activate this feature, they will also be able to see when you view their profile. However, this feature will only allow you to see users who have visited your profile within the last 30 days. Read on to learn how to activate the feature and see who viewed your TikTok profile.
