Need to find a video you watched on TikTok but can't remember who posted it? No problem; with a few simple steps, you can locate any video you've watched in the past, even if you don't remember what it was called.
We'll cover how to find TikTok videos, even if you don't remember anything about them. Let's get started.
How to Find a TikTok Video You Watched
Finding TikTok videos that you've already seen is easy. All you need to do is use a simple search filter.
- Open the TikTok app.
- Go to the Discover tab.
- Type in your query in the search bar above.
- Tap the Filters icon on the search bar's right-hand side.
- Toggle on Watched.
- Press Apply.
Any videos in your watch history that match your keyword or keyphrase will be at the top of the list, followed by your search results as they would usually appear.
You can use TikTok filters for more than just filtering search results by watch history—you can also search for Liked Videos or even add an upload date cut-off to limit your results.
Now, you'll be able to find anything that you've accidentally tapped away from with ease.
How to See Your Watch History on TikTok
One of the best TikTok beginner tips is to see everything you've watched. Follow the steps below to access your TikTok watch history:
- Open TikTok and head to the Profile tab in the bottom-right corner of your screen.
- Press the three-line hamburger menu in the top-right corner.
- Select Settings and privacy.
- Under Content & Display, tap Comment and watch history.
- Press Watch history.
From here, you can see everything you've watched in the last seven days. If you want to clear your watch history, simply tap Select in the top-right corner of your screen, and select all the videos you want to get rid of. You can also tap Select all watch history at the bottom.
After you select all the videos, you want to get rid of, tap Delete in the bottom right and tap Delete once again to confirm your decision.
You can also request all the data TikTok has about you, which will include your watch history as well as other activity.
