TikTok has taken the social media world by storm in recent years. TikTok is the first platform where you have a scroll feature with only short videos customized to content you like.
It is not as easy to get views on any platform as it is on TikTok. This is because of their algorithm that allows your content to be pushed on TikTok’s foryou. This ensures that when your content can be viewed by many different people who don’t follow you. Often when people see content they like they click on the account to continue watching the content. This does not necessarily require them to follow your account, and this often does not happen.
However, many users are interested in who then views their account. In fact, this allows you to see what kind of users like your content, and you can then capitalize on this. TikTok also knows this, which is why they have introduced the profile views feature on their platform.
What are TikTok profile views?
TikTok profile views is a feature that shows who is viewing your account. Every time a user clicks on your profile it shows up on your profile views. This can be found on your when you click on profile and then in the top right corner you can find this feature.
This feature is enabled by TikTok so users can better track who is viewing their account and what kind of users they are. This can help with growing your TikTok account.
However, it is important to note that when you have the profile views feature turned on, accounts can also see when you view their account. So when you click on a profile, that person can see that you have viewed his or her profile if you both have profile views turned on.
Many users don’t like the fact that they can’t view accounts without the owner of the account being able to see. For this reason, TikTok has also given the option to turn off profile views. This allows no one to see when you click on a profile. With this feature off, you also can no longer see who is viewing your profile.
Steps for turning off TikTok profile views
Turning off TikTok profile views is a simple process. Below are the steps:
Step 1 Open the TikTok app and click on “profile” at the bottom right.
Step 2 Click on the 3 dashes at the top right of your screen.
Step 3 Click on the “Settings and privacy” option.
Step 4 Click on the second option “Privacy”
Step 5 Scroll all the way down until you see “profile views”, then click on this.
Step 6 Turn off the bar, the bar is off when it shows the color gray and on when it shows blue.
Once these steps are completed, you have successfully turned off the profile views feature, allowing you to safely view profiles again!
Note that accounts can still see when you follow them and when you like a video. The only thing you have turned off is that accounts can no longer see that you have viewed their profile.
Why turn off profile views?
Now that you know how to turn off TikTok profile views, you might be wondering what the benefits of doing so might be.
There are many different benefits to turning off your profile views, however, the biggest benefit is the privacy you get from it. This is because when you have the feature turned on, everyone can see it when you view their account. This means you cannot view accounts of friends, for example, anonymously. So if you do want to scroll through TikTok anonymously, it is recommended that you turn off your profile views feature.
