Surprisingly, the TikTok watch history feature is now missing from the app and people are disappointed. In this article, we will discuss what happened to TikTok’s watch history feature and why it was removed.

Let's dive into it!

Did TikTok Remove Watch History?

From the looks of it, TikTok removed its watch history feature on June 16, 2022. The feature was removed from the app without any warning or explanation. In other words, TikTok has not commented on why the feature was removed or whether it will return.

Our research revealed that the watch history feature is probably causing TikTok to consume so much space on your phone. The videos that you have seen in the past 7 days are likely downloaded and stored as app data - hogging up space on your device.

In an attempt to fix this storage issue, TikTok must have decided to remove the watch history feature. This means that the watch history feature will return to the app once TikTok has found a way to resolve the storage issue.
