Have you ever tried to access your watch history on TikTok to find a video you watched a while ago, only to realize that the Watch History button doesn’t open? You’re not alone! Many users have experienced this issue, where everything else in the Activity Center—like comment history—works fine, except for watch history.
The Common Mistake
Most users navigate to their profile, tap on the hamburger menu, and then select Activity Center. However, when they try to open Watch History, nothing happens. Frustrating, right?
The Correct Way to Access Watch History
Instead of going directly to Activity Center, follow these steps:
Open TikTok and go to your profile.
Tap on the hamburger menu (three horizontal lines in the top-right corner).
Select Settings and Privacy.
Scroll down and tap on Activity Center.
Now, tap on Watch History—this time, it should open correctly!
Why Does This Happen?
TikTok’s UI can be a bit tricky. Even though both paths lead to the Activity Center, accessing it through Settings and Privacy seems to make the Watch History button function properly.
Final Thoughts
If you’ve been struggling to find a previously watched video, this simple workaround should help. Hopefully, TikTok will fix this bug in a future update. Until then, now you know the right way to access your watch history!
