Each profile in any social network is the personal property of its owner. Of course, by posting photos or sharing some videos, we somehow agree with all the rules of the social network that provides us with such an opportunity. But do not forget that there are so-called privacy policy, copyright and so on. In this article, we will discuss how to view private Tik Tok and is it even possible?
What is a private account
Let’s deal with the most important thing in our today’s topic. What is a private account?
The essence of such a page is that access to any of your content will be limited only to your subscribers. You choose with whom to share and what to share. You will also accept any new subscribers yourself, no one will be able to subscribe without your knowledge.
A private profile, by itself, provides very little information to people who are not your followers.
Pros and cons of a closed profile
There are many pros and cons on this issue. The pluses include freedom of action, since no one will definitely condemn, you will not see angry comments, and so on.
But when deciding to close a profile, it is important to remember the cons. For example, you will have to constantly manually select new subscribers if you have subscription requests. Do not forget about the disadvantages in promoting an account. Or rather, it will be much more difficult. In general, a closed profile is needed more “for the soul.”
How to view a closed page
You cannot watch other people’s videos that the author has chosen to hide. You just have to apply for a subscription, and wait for it to be approved. There is no way to bypass this. Anyone who tells you to do this is usually a scam. Do not leave your passwords anywhere, so as not to lose your personal account in the end.
How to close your account
Now let’s talk in more detail about how to hide your page from prying eyes.
If you would not like your content to be visible to other users, we can do this:
- Launch the application and go to your profile, this can be done through the bottom menu.
- In the profile, tap on the top rightmost button, it will take us to “Settings“.
- Looking for “Privacy” item.
- Find “Private account” and move the slider to the desired position.
That’s all we need to do. Your page will now be hidden. The reverse action is done in the same way, you can perform it at any time.
A way to view someone else’s account
We can offer one method that is not suitable for everyone. And no, this does not require third-party applications or websites. If it is very important for you to see someone else’s content, but you don’t want to show your interest, then you can register a new account. Sign it so that no one guesses it’s you. Also, do not register it to your mobile phone number, as you can easily be identified in contacts.
Just start a page – empty, without an avatar, and with a specific name. Then throw a subscription request to this person, and just wait. Yes, this method may not work, as you simply may not be accepted. But it’s worth trying, right?
What does private videos mean
There is another question that should be considered. Sometimes in public accounts, people can also encrypt videos. You won’t see this, of course. And, accordingly, you will not be able to view them in any way. But if you ever stumble upon a video in your friend’s profile that is marked as “For friends”, then know that you are in the ranks of the elite. Such a clip is seen only by a certain number of users who have signed up for a mutual subscription with this person who released the video.
How to make a video private
To do this, in the video editing mode, before publishing it, we must select “Friends” or “Nobody” in the “Privacy” item. This material will be posted in the way you have chosen.
You can also check this in your profile settings (three parallel lines in the upper right corner). But they apply to all your further videos.
Summary
Today we learned that a hidden social media profile has its benefits. They are more suitable for people who would not like to conduct public activities, but post something just for the reaction of acquaintances. The privacy policy is built in such a way that no one else can see content that the user has not given permission for.
