Introduction

Not everyone is comfortable disclosing their presence or identity on the internet when sneaking into other people’s profiles or viewing their content. Although, a lot of social platforms are good at keeping user’s privacy and not letting others know exactly the names of those who viewed their profile.

Unfortunately, TikTok is different in this case. It is more of a transparent social platform and more open to different engaging content. However, this guide will aid you in maintaining your anonymity and privacy on the internet, particularly TikTok. There are a few techniques for how to look at someone’s TikTok without them knowing. Read through the guide and you will get your answer.

Method 1: Turning Off the Viewer’s History From your Profile

First, the most common and easy method to view someone’s TikTok account or posts without them knowing is by turning off the profile view history. Usually, TikTok settings by default are toggled on for viewing profile history but for looking at someone’s content secretly, you need to turn it off from your profile.

1. First, open the TikTok app on your mobile phone and sign in to your account. On the top right of your profile, you will see a footstep icon, open it and you will see the list of all of the users’ names who have viewed your profile in the last 30 days.

2. By switching off the profile view history, you will be unable to view your profile views, at the same time, you can visit anyone’s profile and watch their content without them knowing as you won’t be showing up in their profile view history.

• One thing to keep in mind is that the footstep icon and the profile view history option will only be visible to you if you are at least 16 years old and have less than 5000 followers on TikTok.
• Make sure you turn back on the view history option if you want to check your profile viewers.

Method 2: Turning Off Profile Views from Settings

If you don’t find the footstep icon on your profile for some reason, you can use the second method of viewing someone’s TikTok profile and posts secretly without them knowing easily by turning off the profile views from Settings.

1. All you need to do is go to your profile, Click the 3 lines icon on the top right corner which will take you to the Settings, look for the Privacy option, and click it.
2. Under the Privacy section, as you scroll down a little, you will find the Profile Views option.
3. Click the Profile Views option and Switch Off the view history. Once you do that, you are free to sneak into anyone’s TikTok profile without them knowing.
4. Moreover, TikTok also enables users to see their post views. To not let someone detect that you are seeing their posts, you need to turn off the post view option by going to Settings, Privacy, then clicking the Post View option and turning the history Off. Now you are free to check anyone’s profile and content secretly.

• Note to remember is, that if you have not used your TikTok account for 30 days and are logged out, TikTok will automatically change its settings to default again once you get logged in.

• Also remember, you should not use this method of sneaking everyone’s TikTok profile and bullying them in the comments anonymously.

Method 3: Viewing TikTok Content as a Guest

The last method in this guide is rather more convenient if you don’t want to go into all the hustles and don’t want to make any TikTok account but at the same time also want to get yourself entertained by watching its content and checking your favorite influencers and their profiles, you can use the TikTok guest mode in such scenario. Follow the quick steps provided below:

1. Open your browser from your PC or Mobile phone and open the TikTok website.

2. If you don’t have an account there or you already have one but want to see someone’s TikTok without them knowing, rather than logging on from the website, you need to open TikTok as a guest. TikTok will provide that option itself as you open it on the browser.

3. Now you can watch engaging content without the hustle of making your account or letting everyone view your presence from their profile view history.

• Although using TikTok as a guest is a good option, however, it also gives you some limitations, you can not like, comment, or save anyone’s video without creating an account. Moreover, you can not even upload your video unless you have an account.
