How can I see my TikTok watched history?
|
One of the more frustrating aspects of TikTok used to be the difficulty in finding a video that you really liked and wanted to see again but had accidentally swiped past or watched a day or two ago. Previously, there was a long, complex series of steps you had to follow to find out your watch history on TikTok — making it hardly worth the effort. Now, however, you can easily find your watch history for the past seven days — and, if you want, erase it. Show To find your watch history in the TikTok app:
You will now see a gallery with all of the videos you’ve watched over the last seven days. Click on any that you’d like to rewatch.

TikTok videos come and go so quickly that it's not always easy to remember what you've watched. That's why TikTok has a watch history page that tracks every TikTok video you've seen, even if you didn't watch them all the way through. Here's how to find it. How to see your TikTok historyThis feature is available on both iPhone and Android. Just note that your watch history page will only show the videos you've watched on that specific device. 1. Open TikTok and log into your account, then tap the Profile icon in the bottom-right corner. 2. Once your profile opens, tap the three stacked lines in the top-right corner, and then Settings and privacy at the bottom. 3. Scroll down to the Content & Activity section and tap Watch history.

The app claims that it only saves up to seven days worth of history, but in our testing, it showed us videos that we'd watched nearly two weeks ago. There will also be a gear icon in the top-right corner of this page. Tap the gear, and you'll find the options to stop tracking your watch history or erase it. You can stop the history tracker or clear it. TikTok; William Antonelli/Insider
