To view your watch history, open your TikTok profile and tap the menu button, then go to Settings & privacy > Watch history. To delete the history, touch and hold the videos on the Play History page and then select “Delete”.

If you want to find all the videos you recently watched on TikTok, your video history is just a few taps away. You can easily view, download and delete your TikTok watch history on your iPhone, iPad or Android phone. That is how.

What data does the TikTok view history store?

TikTok’s watch history keeps a list of all the videos you’ve watched on the platform in the last 180 days. You can touch a video on the history page to view it as if you were watching it for the first time.

Please note that live videos or Stories are not included in your viewing history, so you will not see them on the history page.

You can also clear your watch history if you don’t want to keep a list of your viewed content. This will be a permanent action, which means you won’t be able to restore your watch history in the future if you want to. You will also not get this view history removed when you download your account data from the platform.

To see your viewed content, first, launch the TikTok app on your phone and select “Profile” in the bottom bar.

touch "Profile" on the bottom.
