If you want your friends to see when you’re active or were recently active on TikTok, you may be wondering: how do you turn on TikTok Activity Status? TikTok has an Activity Status feature that can show your online status to eligible friends.
How to Turn On Activity Status on TikTok
Follow these steps:
- Open TikTok.
- Tap Profile at the bottom-right corner.
- Tap the three-line menu in the top-right corner.
- Select Settings and privacy.
- Tap Privacy.
- Find Activity Status.
- Turn on Activity Status.
Once enabled, eligible friends may be able to see when you are currently active or when you were recently active.
Who Can See Your TikTok Activity Status?
TikTok generally limits Activity Status visibility to mutual connections, meaning people you follow who also follow you back.
Depending on the feature’s current setup, they may see indicators such as:
- A green dot showing that you’re active.
- A recent activity status.
You may also be able to see their activity status if they have the feature turned on.
What Happens When You Turn On Activity Status?
When Activity Status is enabled:
- Eligible friends may see when you’re active.
- You may be able to see the activity status of eligible friends who have also enabled the feature.
- Your activity is not necessarily visible to everyone on TikTok.
What If You Can’t Find Activity Status?
If the option is missing, possible reasons include:
Your Account Isn’t Eligible
TikTok may limit Activity Status based on factors such as account age or other account settings.
Your TikTok App Is Outdated
Try updating TikTok from your app store.
The Feature Isn’t Available on Your Account
Some features may vary by account, location, or app version.
Your Privacy Settings Are Affecting It
Check your Privacy settings to see whether Activity Status is available.
How to Turn Off TikTok Activity Status
If you change your mind:
- Go to Profile.
- Tap the three-line menu.
- Select Settings and privacy.
- Tap Privacy.
- Tap Activity Status.
- Turn the setting off.
Once disabled, eligible friends should no longer see your activity status.
Can Everyone See When You’re Active on TikTok?
No. Activity Status is generally intended for eligible mutual connections rather than every TikTok user.
People who don’t follow you back or aren’t eligible to see your status may not have access to that information.
Why Is My Activity Status Not Showing?
If you turned the feature on but it isn’t working, try:
- Restarting TikTok.
- Updating the app.
- Checking your internet connection.
- Making sure you’re following the other person and they follow you back.
- Checking whether the other person has also enabled Activity Status.
