Who can see your liked videos
The Liked videos tab is a visibility setting, not a post audience. You are deciding whether a section of your profile is shown to other people — not who can watch the videos you post.
TikTok lets owners choose whether liked videos are shown on their profile, and hides this tab from others by default when an account is created. Source
That default is easy to forget after an account has been active for a while. If you have ever tapped Like on a video while logged in, the tab may exist on your profile even if you never deliberately enabled it.
The three audience choices
The setting is a single choice. Match it to the account type you actually run.
| Account type | Sensible setting | What it means in practice |
|---|---|---|
| Public account, likes are private by preference | Only you | The tab stays on your profile but is not shown to other viewers |
| Public account, comfortable sharing likes | Everyone | Anyone who can view your profile can see the tab |
| Private account | Followers | Only approved followers can see the tab |
| Private account, likes are private by preference | Only you | The tab is not shown to followers either |
The Liked videos audience setting offers Everyone for public accounts, Followers for private accounts, or Only you. Source
The table is a decision aid, not a platform rule. TikTok does not require a public account to use Everyone, and it does not require a private account to use Followers.
Owner-side checklist
Work through this from your own logged-in account, then confirm the result from a logged-out view.
- Open your profile and find the Liked videos tab. If you cannot see it, you may already have it hidden, or the account may have no liked videos to show.
- Open the visibility setting for liked videos and note the current choice: Everyone, Followers, or Only you.
- Decide whether that choice matches the account type in the table above, and change it if not.
- Review the tab itself. Remove any like you no longer want associated with the account by tapping the Like button again.
- Log out, or open your profile in a private browsing window, and check whether the tab appears to someone who is not signed in.
- If the tab still appears when you expected it hidden, re-check the setting rather than assuming the change applied.

What this setting does not do
Changing the liked-videos audience controls what your profile shows. It does not remove likes from TikTok’s own records, and it does not affect copies that other people or services may have made of your public profile. The platform data supplied for this article does not establish whether removing a like sends any notification, so treat that as unknown rather than assumed.
A username search is also not a complete account inventory. TraceSeek checks a username across 3,000+ platforms, with a free first scan and a stated scan time of 20-30 seconds, but public matches are leads rather than proof of who controls a profile. If you want to review your own known public handles, that is a reasonable optional next step; it does not change TikTok settings, reveal private material, or verify ownership. For how matches are assessed, see the methodology page, and for platform context see the TikTok guide.
