I did. I finally did it. I bit the bullet and downloaded TikTok. And, within minutes, I was hooked.<\/p>\n

There was an issue I bumped into quite quickly though \u2014 it\u2019s tough as hell to find something you watched earlier. There have been plenty of times where I scrolled past a video that somehow lodged in my brain, but, when I tried to find it again, I was lost. It was gone.<\/p>\n

Thankfully, it appears the solution to this problem may be close at hand:<\/p>\n

NEW! TikTok Watch History https:\/\/t.co\/vxXy9L0VJb<\/a><\/p>\n

Shared by social media<\/a> consultant and ex-TNW\u2019er Matt Navvarra (who was retweeting Hammond Oh<\/a>), it appears TikTok is working on a feature that will allow users to look through their previously watched videos.<\/p>\n

This will be accessible in the app\u2019s settings and will be available for seven days<\/a>.<\/p>\n

For me, a \u2018Watch History\u2019 function can\u2019t come soon enough. Yeah, if you\u2019ve liked a video it\u2019s easy enough to find it (it\u2019s on a tab on your profile page), but if you haven\u2019t? It\u2019s a nightmare<\/a>.<\/p>\n

There have been plenty of times I\u2019ve seen something that I\u2019ve not really wanted to like<\/em>, but was interesting or came up in conversation later. For example, while TikTok\u2019s algorithm was figuring out my preferences, it began showing me a series of videos where women would hold up swimwear in front of them before a final frame flashed and showed them wearing it.<\/p>\n

This wasn\u2019t what I wanted on my feed, so I didn\u2019t like the posts. Yet, this format arose in a chat I was having about TikTok\u2019s recommendation system, and it was impossible to easily find examples.<\/p>\n

The videos were lost in the ether. In this case, a \u2018Watch History\u2019 function would\u2019ve been ideal.<\/p>\n

I do hope TikTok makes it more than just a simple list though. Considering how much damn time I spend on the app (and, in turn, how many videos I consume) it\u2019s vital to include the option to search your viewing history by view time, topics, and tags \u2014 otherwise it\u2019ll take hours to find that specific content people just have to see.<\/p>\n

Currently, there\u2019s no word on when TikTok will roll out a \u2018Watch History\u2019 function, but we\u2019ll update this piece when it\u2019s confirmed.<\/p>\n
