How To View Someone Else’s TikTok Followers

TikTok has become one of the most popular social media apps, largely due to its user-friendly interface. It allows you to easily view and upload bite-sized videos, check your analytics, and connect with others. However, not all of its aspects are straightforward. While you can quickly view someone’s following on a public account, accessing this information for a private TikTok profile is a bit more challenging.

This article will cover everything you need to know about viewing someone’s TikTok followers. We’ll also discuss monitoring a user’s follower count in real-time. Keep reading to learn more.

1. View TikTok Followers on a Public Account

If you're curious about a TikTok user’s following, you won’t have to do much work if their account is public. Here’s how you can do it:

Steps to View Public Followers:

Launch the TikTok app.
Tap the “Search” icon in the upper-right corner.
Find the profile you want to inspect using the search box.
Tap the “Followers” section beneath the account username.

You will now see all TikTok accounts that are following this user. Depending on their popularity, it may take time to review the list.

Viewing Followers on iPhone

Open the TikTok app.
Tap the “Search” icon.
Type the appropriate username in the search box.
Navigate to the “Followers” section under the username.

2. View TikTok Followers on a Private Account

Checking the following of a private account is more difficult since only approved users can see videos and followers. Here are some methods to view the follower list of a private account:

Method	Description
Method 1: Follow the Profile	The user receives a notification when you press “Follow” on their profile. If they approve the request, you can view their followers.
Method 2: Create a New Profile	Create a new profile if you suspect your request will be denied. You may have a better chance of approval.
Method 3: Ask a Friend for Help	If you have friends following the private account, they can let you view the followers list.

3. Check Follower Count in Real-Time on a PC

For those looking to analyze follower counts, you can use tools like TokCount to monitor someone's follower count in real-time. Here’s how to do it:

Access TokCount from your browser.
Click on the “Change” button in the upper-right corner.
Type the appropriate TikTok username.
Select the appropriate account from the search results.
View the user’s follower count.

4. Keeping Up With the Follower Count

While checking the followers of public accounts is straightforward, private accounts present challenges. However, by following the methods above, including creating a new account or seeking help from friends, you can navigate around these restrictions. Monitoring follower counts in real-time can also provide insights that help refine your TikTok strategy.
