Seeing View Counts

To see view counts, tap on the "Me" button in the lower-right corner of the TikTok app (Android | iOS), then head to the Timeline section by tapping on the six-line icon right below the "Edit Profile" button. From there, you'll be able to see the view counts on the lower-left corner of your videos and images.

If your view count remains unchanged for an extended period of time, you might need to force close TikTok to refresh the app. Once you do, all the subsequent views your posts may have gotten will now be added on to the view count overlay.
