The ability to access a compilation of previously watched content on the TikTok platform remains a frequently requested feature. While a direct, built-in function to view a precise chronological history is currently unavailable, users can leverage alternative methods to reconstruct their viewing activity. These workarounds rely on account activity data or third-party tools to provide an approximation of recently viewed content. For example, reviewing the ‘Likes’ section may reveal some watched videos, as users often ‘Like’ content they find interesting.
The demand for a readily accessible viewing history highlights the user’s desire for better content management and discovery. Knowing what one has previously watched can aid in rediscovering forgotten videos, understanding personal viewing patterns, and retracing steps to find related content or creators. Historically, platforms like YouTube have offered this feature, shaping user expectations regarding content accessibility and recall.
