If you’ve ever checked out someone’s TikTok profile and immediately regretted it because you didn’t want them to know—you’re not alone. Thankfully, TikTok has a feature called Profile View History, and you can disable it in just a few taps. In this guide, we’ll walk you through how to stop people from seeing that you viewed their profile on TikTok.
Let’s get right into it.
🔒 What Is Profile View History on TikTok?
TikTok’s Profile View History allows users to see who visited their profile in the last 30 days. When it’s turned on, both parties can see profile visits. When it’s off, it’s anonymous—no one can see that you’ve visited their profile, and you won’t see who visits yours.
📱 How To Turn Off Profile View History
Here’s how to disable the feature directly from your TikTok app:
Method 1: From Your Profile Page
-
Open the TikTok app and make sure you’re logged in.
-
Tap the Profile icon in the bottom right corner.
-
On your profile page, look for the footprint icon (👣) in the top right corner—this indicates profile views. Tap it.
-
In the top-right corner, tap the gear icon (⚙️) to open settings.
-
Toggle Profile View History off by sliding the switch to the left.
✅ This stops others from seeing when you’ve visited their profile—and also disables you from seeing who’s viewed yours.
Method 2: Through Settings and Privacy
-
From your Profile, tap the three lines (☰) in the top-right corner.
-
Tap Settings and privacy.
-
Select Privacy from the list.
-
Scroll down and tap Profile views.
-
Toggle the Profile View History switch off.
That’s it! You’re now invisible when viewing other people’s profiles on TikTok.
💡 Bonus Tip: Why Turn This Off?
Turning this setting off gives you more privacy and freedom to explore on TikTok without worrying about others knowing you visited their page. It’s especially useful if you’re doing research, checking out content strategies, or just casually browsing.
