However, it’s important to note that only TikTok accounts that have enabled this feature and have viewed your profile within the last 30 days will appear in the Profile View History.
Moreover, TikTok users that enabled the Profile View History feature on their accounts, will be able to see you when you visit their profile, provided your Profile View feature is still enabled.
