TikTok will also have a History function, showing the endless series of videos you wasted your time with

Given how TikTok relies on an endless stream of videos intended for quick-viewing, the new History section could be an intimidating location for those brave enough to revisit the list of already-watched content.

Running at a regular pace, with about one clip watched every minute, TikTok users barely have time to digest the information they receive, and the new History section can help reduce anxiety when you discover something really interesting and realize that as you move on, you’ll have great difficulty in finding that clip. Sure, you can easily subscribe to that person’s TikTok channel, but that doesn’t guarantee that you’ll be able to easily find the clip you’re interested in.

Similar problems are encountered by YouTube users, who search for a specific clip in the list of a subscribed channel, rarely succeeding in record time. Instead, here is the History section.

If until now, the existence of a viewing history on TikTok did not seem very useful, increasing the maximum duration for distributed videos to 10 minutes opens new options for content authors, some of them choosing to invest in better quality content that is worthwhile. watched a second time.

For example, instead of food clips, you can now find real step-by-step guides on TikTok, showing exactly how to make that dish.

Due to the very large number of videos viewed, it is plausible that the new viewing history has only limited coverage, covering only the videos watched in the last few days or weeks.

Known through rumors, the new functionality is not officially confirmed and does not have a concrete launch schedule, the owner of ByteDance seems rather concerned with analyzing the reaction of TikTok users, before making a final decision.
