Additional Tips

Understanding Watch History Storage

TikTok stores each video in your watch history for 180 days. This means you can only view videos you've watched within the past six months.

Searching for Recently Viewed Videos

If you're trying to find a specific video but can't locate it in your watch history, you can use the search function:

1. Open the Search Bar

   • Tap the search icon (a magnifying glass) in the top right corner of the app's home screen.

2. Use Search Filters

   • Type relevant keywords into the search bar and hit "Search."
   • Tap the "Watched" button above the first row of videos to see videos you've watched. Ensure you're in the "Top" tab for this option to appear.

Troubleshooting

• Videos Not Showing: If you can't find a video in your watch history, it might be because it was watched more than 180 days ago or it was a Live or Story, which are not included in the watch history.
• Clearing Entire History: If you're concerned about privacy, regularly clearing your watch history can help keep your viewing habits private.

By following these steps, you can easily view and manage your TikTok watch history, ensuring you can find the videos you need while maintaining control over your viewing data.
