TikTok, while lacking a direct “watch history” feature similar to other video platforms, provides alternative methods to revisit content previously viewed. These methods rely on user activity, such as likes, comments, and saved videos, to reconstruct a personal viewing timeline. Users can leverage these interactive features to indirectly track their engagement with specific content within the app.
The absence of a dedicated watch history impacts content discovery and revisiting. A formal record of watched videos could enhance the user experience by facilitating the rediscovery of previously enjoyed content. However, the current system emphasizes active engagement, encouraging users to interact with content they wish to revisit, thereby promoting platform activity and personalized content feeds.
