TikTok has a number of features in place to enhance security and protect its users.
One of these is the profile viewer tool, that lets users see who has viewed their profile and when.
But there’s a catch – because in order to see who visits your profile, you also have to allow others to see when you visit their profile. If you turn this off and choose to hop between profiles in hidden mode, you will be unable to see who visits your profile too.
What this means is that it’s perfectly possible to view someone’s TikTok profile without them knowing. But by switching your TikTok app to this incognito setting, you are also allowing others to view your profile without you knowing.
3 Steps to Browse TikTok In Secret
The way to turn this on and off is concealed in the Privacy settings of your TikTok app.
- Head to your TikTok profile page and click on the menu button in the top right hand corner of the screen, indicated by the three horizontal lines
- Click on ‘Settings and Privacy’ then ‘Privacy’
- Head into ‘Profile Views’ and turn off the toggle for ‘Profile View History’
Doing this will allow you to allow you to visit TikTok profiles and view TikTok videos completely privately.
We hope this helps you to understand the visibility of your activity and actions on TikTok!
