Trying to find that one TikTok video you saw 5 minutes ago? There’s a simple hack for that…

TikTok's well-hidden watch history feature can be your time machine for lost videos. Simply tap the search icon, type a period (.), and tap "View your watch history" to see recently watched TikToks. This trick prevents endless scrolling in search of that one hilarious video. However, the hidden nature of this feature is a frustrating design flaw even tech-savvy users find baffling.

Ever been sucked into the vortex of TikTok only to have your precious video vanish with a single swipe? Fear not, fellow phone-scrolling aficionados! There’s a secret weapon hidden in plain sight on your iPhone that’ll let you rewind time and reclaim those lost TikTok treasures.

No matter if you’re drooling over air-fried chicken tenders or scheming your Eras Tour outfit, this simple trick will transport you back to that mesmerizing TikTok you accidentally refreshed away.

Summoning Your TikTok Time Machine:

  1. Tap the Search Icon: It’s that magnifying glass that’s always lurking, ready to unearth your digital desires.
  2. Enter a Single Period: Yes, just a humble “.” – a symbol of infinite possibilities.
  3. Tap “View Your Watch History”: Boom! A portal to your recently viewed TikTok delights opens before your very eyes.

It’s like magic, but better – it’s technology!

TikTok’s watch history might be buried deeper than a pirate’s treasure, but once you unlock this cheat code, you’ll be the hero of your own scrolling saga. No more scrolling endlessly, hoping to stumble upon that one video that made you laugh, cry, or question your life choices.

A Geek’s Plea to TikTok:

Why, oh why, TikTok, is this precious feature so well-hidden? Your addictive algorithm is a marvel of modern engineering, but this user interface quirk leaves even the most tech-savvy among us bewildered. We implore you: let the watch history see the light of day!

Until then, arm yourself with this knowledge, dear friends, and conquer the ever-scrolling abyss with confidence.
