Don’t want to let people know you’ve visited their profile on TikTok? Here is how you can do it! Follow the guide to turn off profile views on TikTok and enhance your privacy on the platform. So, let’s get started.
Steps to turn off profile views on TikTok
If you want to turn off profile views on the platform, this is how you can do it!
- Just open the TikTok app on your phone and tap on the profile icon in the bottom right corner. This will take you to your personal profile page.
- Now look at the top right corner of the screen next to your name. Here, you should be able to see a small footsteps icon, though sometimes it might appear as an eye icon or a tiny thumbnail preview of someone else’s profile picture.
- That is what we’re looking for! Just tap that icon to open up the screen. This page will display a running list of the accounts that have looked at your profile over the last thirty days. You may check who has been visiting your profile!
- Now jump into settings in the top right corner of this specific visitor screen and tap on it to open the controls.
- You will find a toggle. Flip the toggle switch next to profile view history or viewer history to the off position. It will instantly turn grey to show it is disabled. If it is still green, make sure to tap again and change it to another color.
- If somehow you can’t do it, you can also visit the main profile page instead. To do this, go into settings and privacy, then select privacy. Next, scroll down to the bottom, tap on profile views, and switch it off there.
Remember that doing this is a mutual change. It means that while others cannot see that you visited their profile, you cannot see it either.
What happens when we turn off profile views on TikTok?
Let us elaborate on what we just shared above. When you turn off profile views on TikTok, the feature becomes completely anonymous and mutual for your account. This means a couple of major things have changed, and this will be applied to the entire profile. First, you will no longer appear on anyone else’s profile view history list. You can visit other users’ pages as much as you want, and they will never know you were there.
The second thing is that your own profile view history page goes completely blank. Meaning, you will lose the ability to see which accounts have been visiting your profile over the last thirty days. Yes, it works both ways.
