Social Media Consultant and Industry Analyst Matt Navarra took to his Twitter feed on January 23rd that TikTok could be coming back with one of its old features.
If you like to keep up with social media news and updates, you’ll notice that Matt always pre-analyses predictions related to social media, and they are mostly always true.
He says, “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.”

TikTok looks to be testing an opt-in functionality that would enable you to see who’s checking out your TikTok profile, while users would also be able to see when you’ve checked out their profile as well when this feature is switched on.
Which TikTok used to have, as a means to increase connections in the app.
As you can see here, TikTok used to provide a listing of people who’d checked out your profile, with a view to helping you find others to follow who may have similar, shared interests. TikTok removed the functionality early last year, amid various investigations into its data sharing processes, and with several high-profile cases of TikTok stalkers causing real-world problems for platform stars, it made sense that it might not want to share this information anymore, as it likely only increases anxiety for those who may have concerns.
But if stalkers wanted to check out your profile they wouldn’t turn the feature on, so maybe, by making it opt-in, that reduces that spy element? Maybe!
