Does TikTok show who viewed your profile?
Yes, TikTok shows who viewed your profile, but only through profile view history and only when both of you have it turned on. The setting is off by default and available if you’re 16 or older with fewer than 5,000 followers.
It shows visits from the past 30 days. You can switch it off in Settings and privacy.

How TikTok profile view history works
TikTok’s Help Center sets out the rules:
- Opt-in. Profile view history is off until you turn it on.
- Age and size limits. It’s only available if you’re 16 or older and have fewer than 5,000 followers.
- Two-way. You only see views from accounts that also have it on, and those accounts see your visits to them.
- 30 days. The list covers views from the past 30 days.
- Notifications. TikTok sends an Inbox notification when someone has viewed your profile.
| You | The other person | Do they see your visit? |
|---|---|---|
| Profile view history on | On | Yes, for 30 days |
| On | Off, or not eligible | No |
| Off | On | No |
| Not logged in | On | Not as far as TikTok’s rules describe (see below) |
The TikTok follower tracker and the free lookups on this site use no TikTok account of yours. TikTok’s rules only list visits from accounts with the setting on, so these lookups aren’t expected to appear, though TikTok doesn’t say so outright.
How to turn off profile views on TikTok
TikTok gives you three ways to reach the same switch:
- Profile → menu (☰) → Settings and privacy → Privacy → Profile views → turn off Profile view history.
- Inbox → Activities → Profile views → Settings.
- Profile → the Profile views button at the top → Settings.
Turning it off works both ways: you can no longer see who viewed your profile, and nobody can see your visits to theirs. To turn profile views back on, use the same switch. It only appears if you’re 16 or older with fewer than 5,000 followers.
How to see who viewed your TikTok profile
- Turn on profile view history using any of the paths above.
- Open your profile and tap the Profile views button at the top, or go to Inbox → Activities → Profile views.
- Read the list. It shows visits from the past 30 days, from accounts that also have the setting on.
The list only covers part of your visitors. People with the setting off, people under 16, accounts with 5,000 followers or more and anyone browsing without an account don’t show up. A short list doesn’t mean few people looked.
Can someone see if you viewed their TikTok profile?
Only if you both have profile view history on and you both qualify for it. If you want to look without showing up, turn your own profile view history off first. That hides all of your visits, and it also hides your own viewers from you.
Visiting without logging in is the other common answer. TikTok doesn’t say outright that logged-out visits are invisible. Its rules only list accounts that have the setting on, and a logged-out visitor has no account, so it’s implied rather than promised.
Viewing someone’s profile isn’t the only thing that shows. Your likes and comments on their posts are visible as usual, and a follow puts you in their followers list and TikTok can notify them about a new follower. If you’d rather keep your follows to yourself, see how to hide your following list on TikTok.
Post views are a separate setting
Post view history is a different switch, under Settings and privacy → Privacy → Post views, with the same eligibility: 16 or older and fewer than 5,000 followers. It covers posts published in the last 7 days and shows two groups:
- Followers who have the setting on and viewed your post.
- Non-followers who liked or commented, whatever their own setting.
Turning post view history off doesn’t hide your likes and comments: those still count as views on other people’s posts. Story view history is separate again.
Apps that claim to show your TikTok profile visitors
Outside apps can’t see TikTok’s profile view history. It lives inside TikTok and only shows in your own account. An app promising a full list of everyone who viewed your profile has no source for it, and TikTok warns that it will never ask for your password or verification codes. Our guide on hidden TikTok following lists covers the same kind of site.
What a tool can honestly show is public information: who an account follows and who follows it. Peekd records those changes with dates for public TikTok accounts, and the TikTok follower count checker shows exact counts for free. Instagram doesn’t show who views your profile at all; see who viewed my Instagram profile.
Frequently asked questions
Does TikTok show who viewed your profile?
Yes, if you turn on profile view history and the viewer has it on too. You must be 16 or older with fewer than 5,000 followers, and it covers the past 30 days.
How do I turn off profile views on TikTok?
Go to Profile, menu (☰), Settings and privacy, Privacy, Profile views, and turn off Profile view history. You can also reach it from Inbox, Activities, Profile views.
Can someone see if I viewed their TikTok profile?
Only if you both have profile view history turned on. With yours off, your visits don’t appear in anyone’s list.
Why can’t I see profile views on TikTok?
Profile view history is only available if you’re 16 or older and have fewer than 5,000 followers. Check that you’re eligible and that the setting is on.
Does TikTok tell people you viewed their profile if you’re logged out?
TikTok doesn’t say so directly. Its rules only count accounts with the setting on, so logged-out visits aren’t expected to appear, but that’s implied rather than stated.
Does using Peekd show up in TikTok profile views?
It isn’t expected to. Peekd uses no TikTok account of yours, and TikTok’s rules only list visits from accounts with profile view history on. TikTok doesn’t state outright that other visits never appear.
Can you see who viewed your TikTok profile if you have more than 5,000 followers?
No. Profile view history is only available to accounts with fewer than 5,000 followers, which is the usual reason it disappears for growing creators. Post view history has the same limit.
