What is TikTok?

With more than a billion users around the globe, video-centered social media platform TikTok has been sweeping our generation with its innovative challenges.

From viral dances to smooth transition trends, TikTok allows one to share not only the perfect social media life but also some vulnerability.

With a new concept called For You page, TikTok created an algorithmic feed based on your own interests.

Unlike other social media platforms such as Facebook or Instagram, which focuses on your friends or family members you voluntarily followed, TikTok allows one to explore their For You page and discover new, creative content from all over the world.

TikTok created some of the most viral stars today, including Charli D’Amelio, Addison Rae, and Bella Poarch.

What is the profile view history option on TikTok?

This new TikTok feature allows users to see who viewed their profile in the past 30 days, and vice versa.

Although there is no official announcement from TikTok yet, reports state that only users who turned on this feature will be able to access this feature.

TikTok offered a profile view feature a few years back but eventually removed it.

In January 2022, however, Dexerto reported that the social media platform is bringing the feature back.

In February 2022, some TikTok users reported that the feature was indeed back on the app.

Although it is not available for everyone yet, some are speculating that it will soon be available for all users.

Only you can see who viewed your profile and can turn it off at any time.

This new feature is not good news to some people, as secret profile gazing is not necessarily possible anymore.
