TikTok Profile View History: What It Is and How to Turn It Off

How TikTok Profile View History works, who can see your visits, and how to disable it so you can browse without appearing.

TikTok Profile View History: What It Is and How to Turn It Off

Profile View History is the one TikTok feature that can reveal you visited someone's profile. Here's how it works and how to switch it off.

How it works

When enabled, it shows you a list of accounts that viewed your profile in the last 30 days — and shows your visits to others who also have it on. It's mutual: if either side has it disabled, visits aren't recorded.

How to turn it off

  1. Open your Profile and tap the menu, then Settings and privacy.
  2. Go to PrivacyProfile View History.
  3. Toggle it off.

With it off, you won't see who viewed you — and you won't appear in anyone else's history either.

The simpler alternative

If you just want to look at a profile without any of this, view it while logged out, or use an anonymous viewer. No account involved means nothing to record.

Try it now — anonymously

View any public TikTok or Instagram profile without being seen.
