Do you have that one person that you are crushing on and stalking on TikTok, so you want to know how to turn off profile views on TikTok so they do not know you are always checking out their profile? Luckily for you, there is a way to go about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everyone likes to snoop through their friends\u2019 online profiles occasionally. And unless you\u00a0accidentally like a post from two years ago, this kind of behavior usually goes under the radar. Instagram<\/a> does not have a feature that notifies users that you have checked out their account two dozen times in three hours. Twitter<\/a> also does not broadcast when tweeps spend hours scrolling through your replies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On TikTok<\/a>, however, it is possible for people to know when you are checking them out, virtually speaking. Profile view history is a setting on the app that lets users know who has been on their profile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thankfully, there is a way to toggle this feature on and off depending on your preferences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How does Profile Views work on TikTok? <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Profile View History feature creates a list of the users who\u2019ve visited your profile in the last 30 days. The catch is that it only lists users who also have Profile View History turned on. This means that when you turn the feature on, it\u2019ll make you visible on other users\u2019 history lists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to turn off Profile Views on TikTok<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You can turn\u00a0Profile view history<\/a> on\u00a0in your settings to see which accounts on TikTok have viewed your profile. However, only accounts that have turned this feature on and have viewed your profile in the last thirty days will appear in your profile view history.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you visit another account\u2019s profile page and they\u2019ve also turned on this setting, they\u2019ll be able to see that you visited their profile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can turn your Profile view history on or off in your privacy settings or on your Profile views page. Turning off profile view history means you will not be able to see who has viewed your profile. Others would also not be able to see that you\u2019ve viewed theirs too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      How to measure your engagement without profile views<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      Upgrading to a TikTok Pro Account<\/a>\u00a0offers audience insights and tools to grow and track the performance of your content. TikTok\u2019s analytics tool provides an overview and insight into views, follower growth, and which of your videos are trending.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      To set up a TikTok Pro Account, follow these steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      1.<\/strong>\u00a0Open the TikTok app. Get to your profile by tapping the\u00a0Profile icon<\/strong>\u00a0in the bottom-right corner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      2.<\/strong>\u00a0Tap the\u00a0three lines icon<\/strong>\u00a0at the top-right, then\u00a0Settings and privacy<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      3.<\/strong>\u00a0Tap\u00a0Manage account<\/strong>, then\u00a0Switch to Business Account<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Quick tip:<\/strong>\u00a0You can access analytics via TikTok\u2019s Creator Tools, which can be found after tapping the three lines icon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Does TikTok show who viewed your profile?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      Yes, creators can see some of the people who viewed their TikTok profile, as long as they have the profile views feature enabled. And while TikTok removed the ability to see who has viewed your profile a while back, in January 2022 there were reports that TikTok was adding the feature back in on an opt-in basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Can people see if I viewed their TikTok if I have profile views off?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      Turning off profile view history means\u00a0you will not be able to see who has viewed your profile<\/strong>, and others would not be able to see that you\u2019ve viewed theirs too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      How long do profile views stay on TikTok?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      After you turn on Profile Views, you will see a list of TikTok users who viewed your profile within the last 30 days. However, only users that also have Profile Views turned on are visible on your list. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      This means that if you turn Profile Views off, you won\u2019t be able to see who\u2019s viewed your profile, but other users won\u2019t be able to see if you\u2019ve viewed their profiles either.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      What happens if you get a lot of views on TikTok?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      Views are important on TikTok as they can create a snowballing effect. The more views a video gets,\u00a0the more likely it will be served to larger audiences. But more importantly, the TikTok algorithm relies on how a user views and interacts with your video (watch time and engagement) to learn if they should display your video.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Why am I not getting TikTok views?<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      If you are getting zero or low views on your TikTok videos, it can come down to several reasons:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
