The recent removal of a specific user interface element within the TikTok application, which displayed profiles recently viewed by the user, has been observed. This change eliminates the prior functionality that allowed users to see a chronological list of accounts they had visited. Previously, accessing this list was possible through a dedicated section within the user’s profile settings or a specific icon on the profile page.
The availability of a viewing history offered several benefits. It allowed users to easily revisit profiles they may have forgotten to follow, rediscover content from previously viewed accounts, and generally keep track of their browsing activity within the application. The feature’s presence provided a level of user convenience and aided in content navigation. Its absence represents a shift in the user experience, potentially affecting how individuals interact with and rediscover content on the platform.
