Who is unaware of TikTok? Almost everyone is using TikTok these days. It is an entertainment app on which short videos are watched. Millions of people use TikTok to watch videos for entertainment. Now TikTok is not just an entertainment app, but it has also become a great way to earn online. For some time now, the option of monetization has been available in TikTok, through which people are also earning online. But for now, TikTok is giving very little earnings to its users. It is hoped that this earning will be increased in the coming time.
The application has various settings, features and options that improve the way it is used. Most users only use the basic features, while each app also has some special hacks, smart tricks and hidden options that can make it more effective and convenient. In today's article, I will share with you a guide about five powerful and useful TikTok tricks that will further enhance your TikTok experience. Most users only know the basic settings. The tricks that I am going to share with you are available within the TikTok app, but most users do not know this. You can apply these tricks within TikTok itself. For this, you will not need to install any other app.
1. Check History
The picture shows you how you can extract the complete history of TikTok. You can extract the history of a day. You can extract the history of a week. You can extract the history of a month. Of course, this feature is going to be very useful for TikTok users because with it you can extract the data of all the watched videos.
Just go to the search bar and type a dot (.) to see your TikTok history.{alertSuccess}
Suppose if you were using TikTok yesterday and you had watched some amazing videos but you could not download them due to network issues or any problem or you do not remember, then you can extract the history of yesterday and watch all those videos again or you can also download them.
2. Shared via profile link
Many people are also unaware of this feature of TikTok. Almost most people do not know about it. When you pick up a link to a random video and share it with a friend on WhatsApp or any social media platform and he clicks on this link, then he comes to know that this person has shared this video. He comes to know who has shared this video and your TikTok ID is shown to him. And the TikTok ID of that person is also shown to you and you get a notification that this person has watched the video you shared.
This can be useful in one way, if you want to find someone's TikTok ID, you can share the link of any random video with them. As soon as they click on the link and your video is viewed, you will get a notification that such and such person has watched your video and the ID will be shown in front of you. But if you do not want to show your ID to them, you do not want to show that the video was shared from your TikTok ID, then how do you turn it off? Many people do not know how to turn off this setting, so I will tell you how to turn off the setting so that if you share the link of a video with someone and they watch it, they will not know that you have shared that video.
How to turn off:
- Go to your Profile.
- Tap the Menu (☰) icon
- Open Settings and privacy.
- Scroll down and find Shared Links
- Turn it off
Now when you share the link of the video with anyone and they watch it, the video will play in front of them just like it normally does on TikTok, and your ID will not be shown to them.
3. Open TikTok on mute
Now the setting or trick of TikTok that we are going to talk about is also available within TikTok. This is TikTok's own setting, but many people still do not know about it. The beauty of this setting is that whenever you open TikTok, TikTok will be muted by default. You will not hear any sound. This can be useful for you. If unwanted voice videos are played on your TikTok ID and you are sitting in a family or something, then if you open TikTok, you may face a little problem. But if you turn on this setting, whenever you close TikTok, the sound of the video will not open automatically or you will have to press the volume button or turn off the mute, only then the sound of this video will come. This can prove to be very useful for many people.
How to Enable:
- Go to your Profile.

- Open Settings and privacy.
- Scroll down and go to Playback
- Turn on Open Tiktok on mute

You also get this option in Facebook. You must open TikTok and its settings from your children's mobile, so that no such incorrect videos will be shown to them.

Now you will be able to turn on captions in TikTok as well and get benefit from it.
