TikTok Watch History makes it easy to find the videos you’ve watched
This page was translated using AI and machine learning.
(Pocket-lint) – TikTok currently doesn’t allow users to see their viewing – or “watching” – history. But that could soon change, according to a leakster.
The popular social media app is reportedly testing a new watch history feature that will allow you to easily locate a video you’ve already watched without having to save it later or download it to your device.

First spotted by Matt Navarra Twitter user Hammod Oh , which frequently leaks unannounced features on various social networks, recently shared a screenshot that reveals TikTok is testing a “Watch History” option. The feature itself or at least its controls seem to live under the “Content & Activity” menu in the app settings. Since TikTok has yet to officially announce or roll out the feature, it’s unclear how a watch history page in TikTok will work and if it will just be a running list of all the TikToks you have looked.
Will there even be a filter or search option in your watch history? Not much is known at this point. However, since TikTok is apparently actively testing a watch history feature, it can be assumed that it will officially launch it soon. One other thing is certain: if and when Watch History rolls out, it will be a much-appreciated feature, especially for those who have resorted to workarounds.
