To see who liked your TikTok, open your Inbox and check the activity notifications, which name the accounts that liked your videos; make sure like notifications are switched on under Settings and privacy, then Notifications. TikTok doesn’t show who favorited (saved) your videos, only how many saves each one has.
Likes and favorites are treated differently because a like is a public reaction and a save is a private bookmark. This guide covers both, how to see someone else’s likes, and how to hide your own. Other profile privacy settings are covered in TikTok profile views. Follower lists have their own privacy settings in how to hide your followers and following list on TikTok, and how to remove followers on TikTok covers cutting someone off.
How Do You See Who Liked Your TikTok?
You see who liked your TikTok in your Inbox, where activity notifications list the accounts that liked your posts. Listed below are the 4 steps.
- Tap Inbox at the bottom of the app.
- Open Activity, or the notifications section your version shows.
- Filter to likes, where the filter is available.
- Scroll the list of accounts that liked your videos.
If likes don’t appear, turn them on: Profile, the menu, Settings and privacy, Notifications, then switch on Likes under in-app notifications. On popular videos, TikTok groups likes into a single notification, so you won’t see every name.
Can You See Who Favorited Your TikTok?
No, TikTok doesn’t show who favorited your videos; you only see the number of saves on each post. Saves are private bookmarks. Your own saved videos and collections are covered in how to find saved videos and manage collections on TikTok.
| Action | Can the creator see who did it? |
|---|---|
| Like | Yes, through Inbox notifications |
| Comment | Yes, the name is on the comment |
| Favorite (save) | No, only the count |
| Share | No, only the count |
| View | Only followers with post view history on, for 7 days |
Can You See Someone Else’s Liked Videos?
You can see another account’s liked videos only if they’ve left their Liked videos tab visible; many people set it to private. On their profile, tap the heart tab above their videos. If there’s a lock or the tab is missing, their likes are hidden.
How Do You Hide Your Liked Videos on TikTok?
To hide your likes, go to Settings and privacy, then Privacy, then Liked videos, and choose Only you. Listed below are the 5 steps.
- Tap Profile, then the menu (three lines).
- Tap Settings and privacy.
- Tap Privacy.
- Tap Liked videos.
- Choose Only you.
The creator still gets a notification when you like their video; the setting only hides the list on your profile.
Why Can’t You See Who Liked Your TikTok?
Like notifications go missing when they’re switched off, when the video has so many likes that TikTok groups them, or when the likers have private accounts. Turn notifications back on and check the Inbox soon after posting, when names are most visible.
What Can Public Data Show About Likes?
Public data shows how many likes and saves each video has, not who gave them. apidojo’s TikTok Scraper on Apify returns each public video’s likes and bookmarks counts alongside its views, comments and shares, at $0.30 per 1,000 posts (Apify). Turning those counts into an engagement rate is covered in how to calculate TikTok engagement rate.
