How to Download Your TikTok Watch History (Step-by-Step)
Want to see your TikTok Wrapped? You'll need your watch history first.
TikTok doesn't make this obvious, but you can download all your data — including every video you've watched, when you watched it, and how long you spent scrolling.
Here's exactly how to get it.
Step 1: Open TikTok Settings
Open the TikTok app and go to your profile (bottom right). Tap the three lines in the top right corner, then select "Settings and privacy."
Step 2: Find "Download your data"
Scroll down to "Privacy" and tap "Download your data." You'll see options for different types of data.
Step 3: Select "Activity data"
Choose "Activity data" — this includes your watch history, likes, shares, and app usage. Select "JSON" format (it's easier to work with).
Step 4: Request your data
Tap "Request data download." TikTok will process your request and email you a download link within 24-48 hours.
Step 5: Download the file
Check your email for a message from TikTok with your download link. The file will be a ZIP archive containing your data in JSON format.
Privacy note: Your data file contains personal information. Only upload it to trusted services, and make sure they process data locally (like TikTokWrapped.world does).
What's in Your Data File?
Your TikTok data download includes:
- Video browsing history: Every video you've watched
- Like history: Videos you've liked and when
- Share history: Content you've shared
- Search history: What you've searched for
- App activity: When you've used TikTok
Using Your Data for TikTok Wrapped
Once you have your data file, you can upload it to TikTokWrapped.world to get your personalized wrapped report. The analysis happens in your browser — your data stays private.
You'll see:
- Your most-watched creators
- Total videos watched
- Peak scrolling times
- Content category breakdown
- Year-over-year comparisons
Troubleshooting
Email not arriving? Check your spam folder. TikTok emails sometimes get filtered.
Download link expired? Links are valid for 4 days. If it expires, request a new download.
File too large? Heavy TikTok users might get large files (100MB+). This is normal — it just means you watch a lot of content.
