How to see total views on TikTok


If you’re tracking your performance as a creator, you may be wondering: how do you see total views on TikTok? TikTok makes it easy to view the number of views on individual videos, and eligible accounts can also use TikTok Analytics to monitor overall account performance.

In this guide, we’ll explain how to see your TikTok video views, check your total account views using Analytics, and what to do if you can’t find the information you’re looking for.

Can You See Total Views on TikTok?

Yes.

There are two main ways to check views on TikTok:

  • Individual video views displayed on each post.
  • Overall account views through TikTok Analytics (available for eligible accounts).

If you want to know how many times all your videos have been watched, TikTok Analytics is the best option.

In the Analytics dashboard, you’ll find information such as:

  • Total video views
  • Profile views
  • Follower growth
  • Engagement metrics
  • Video performance over selected time periods

You can often filter data by the last 7, 28, 60, or 365 days, depending on the available options.

Can You See Lifetime Total Views?

TikTok does not currently display one public number showing the lifetime combined views of all your videos.

However, you can:

  • Review total video views within Analytics for available date ranges.
  • Estimate your lifetime views by adding the views from your individual videos if needed.
