On TikTok, we only know which accounts have liked our uploaded video content, without us knowing which accounts have watched the video.
This is different from Instagram Stories where users can see which accounts have seen the uploaded video.
Well, the good news is that TikTok is currently testing new features on a limited basis on users. This feature is 'post view history', which allows you to see which followers have viewed the uploaded video.
On the other hand, people you follow will also be able to see that you've also seen their posts if this feature is enabled. This view history also has a time limit where after 7 days since the video was uploaded it will disappear.
"We're always thinking of new ways to provide value to our community and enrich the TikTok experience," said a TikTok spokesperson.
Testing this feature was first discovered by social media consultant Matt Navara. Through his Twitter account he shared a screenshot showing the feature.

As with testing the other features, it's not yet known when or if TikTok plans to roll out the feature widely. If officially launched, this would be similar to the current TikTok feature of showing who has viewed a profile.
The feature is only available to users over the age of 16 who have less than 5,000 followers. If you have the post view feature, you will see an eye icon in the top right corner of your own profile.
If you click on the icon you will see who viewed your profile in the last 30 days. For the record only you can see who the profile peek list is.
However, if you enable this feature, it means that you are also giving permission to other people to know if they have viewed their profile.
This new feature may be a welcome addition for people who want to track who viewed their content, but on the other hand it will also make users uncomfortable displaying it.
