TikTok is bringing back profile views and users aren\u2019t happy Unsplash: Aaron WeissSome TikTok users have reported that the \u2018profile view history\u2019 feature has returned to their account, and many aren\u2019t pleased about the old feature making a comeback. A few years ago, when you visited someone\u2019s profile on short-form video app TikTok, the owner of the account would get a notification to let them know who was looking at their profile. The feature meant people got a good idea of exactly who was checking out their account, but it was one that was disliked by many too. Eventually, the profile views feature was removed from the platform, and it\u2019s been gone for some time now. However, in January, there were reports that TikTok was working on bringing back the feature that people would be able to opt in to. TikTok is working on a LinkedIn-like Profile Views feature The feature will let you view who visited your TikTok profile in the past 30 days. h\/t @adrianokev1 pic.twitter.com\/eMnYtgyUq0 \u2014 Matt Navarra (I quit X. Follow me on Threads) (@MattNavarra) January 23, 2022 In February, a number of TikTok users reported that the app had brought the profile views feature back, and many were quick to share their thoughts on the addition online. \u201cTikTok just brought profile viewing back \u2026 it\u2019s over for a lot of y\u2019all,\u201d one user wrote, another saying: \u201cTikTok creating \u2018profile views\u2019 feature is doing everyone dirty.\u201d https:\/\/twitter.com\/taamriddlz\/status\/1494428857067261954 https:\/\/twitter.com\/shberii\/status\/1494372102622748673 Currently, it appears as though the feature is not available for everyone, though whether it will eventually be rolled out to the whole platform remains to be seen. If the initial reports about the feature prove to be correct, \u201conly viewers who turned on their profile view history and viewed your profile in the past 30 days will be shown.\u201d However, it isn\u2019t totally clear what the exact rules are as the feature is reintegrated into the platform. Although not everyone is delighted to see the feature return, there may be some who welcome it, especially if it\u2019s on an opt-in basis.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
