Can you View How Many TikToks You’ve Watched? There’s No Good Way

If you’ve been on TikTok for a while, you’ve probably seen thousands of videos so far. However, maybe you suddenly wish to know the exact number of videos you watched in the past. Unfortunately, TikTok doesn’t have an option that lets you see that.

However, if you’re persistent enough, there’s a way to access a file with all your watched videos. If that’s information you’d find useful, you’ve come to the right place. This article will share helpful tips on how to gain access to all videos you watched from your TikTok account for iPhone and Android users.

How to Tell How Many TikToks You Have Viewed on the iPhone

TikTok has undoubtedly been the fastest growing platform over the past year. Plus, with millions of uploaded videos each day, the traffic keeps increasing. The more people engage with the app, the more they may be curious about how many TikToks they have actually viewed.

So how can you tell how many TikToks you viewed? The easiest way is to go through your video history on TikTok, but this feature is still unavailable for most users.

Some people can see their watch history on their profiles, so you can try these steps to see if your account is applicable as well:

1. Start TikTok on your iPhone.
   
2. Tap on the “Profile” icon from the bottom of the screen.
   
3. Tap on the three vertical lines and look for the “Watch History” option.
   
4. If it’s there, tap on it. You’ll be presented with a history of all TikTok videos you watched.

If not, you’ll have to go the long way. You can download your TikTok activity file that contains all your personal information, including the links to all videos you ever watched on your account.

Here’s how to download this file using your iPhone:

1. Start the TikTok app on your iPhone.
   
2. Tap on the “Profile” button from the bottom of the screen to get to your profile.
   
3. Tap on the three vertical lines in the upper right-hand corner.
   
4. Navigate to “Settings.”
5. Scroll to “Privacy.”
   
6. Continue to “Personalization and Data.”
   
7. Tap on “Download your data.” You’ll see a list of info you can download, including “Your profile,” “Your activity,” and “Your app settings.”
   
8. Tap on the “Request data file.”
   
   The process can take up to two days, depending on the file size. You’ll receive a notification that the request was received, and you can follow its status under the “Download data” tab. After your request is approved, the “Pending” status will turn to “Download,” and you’ll be able to download the file.
9. Get the file by tapping on “Download.”
   The file will be available for download for four days. Make sure to download the file before it disappears. Otherwise, you’ll have to send another request and wait additional two days.
10. The file will download by default to the “Files” folder in your iPhone. If your iPhone can’t open the .zip file, you can transfer it to your computer.
11. When you open the folder, navigate to the “Activity” folder.
12. You’ll see a lot of “.txt” files. Open the one called “VideoBrowsingHistory.txt.”

Inside, you’ll see a detailed list of all watched videos on your account. The list will contain the timestamps and links to the videos as well. However, you’ll have to count all of them to get an exact total.

How to Tell How Many TikToks You Have Viewed on an Android Device
