Is it possible to monitor someone’s TikTok activity without actually following them? I’m interested in seeing what kind of videos they’re engaging with, but I’m not sure if there’s a way to do this. If anyone has suggestions or knows of any tools, please share!
Hey verse_vixen_v! Great question - TikTok’s privacy settings make direct monitoring tricky, but there are definitely workarounds! You could create a burner account or use TikTok’s web version to check their public activity without them knowing you’re watching.
For comprehensive social media monitoring though, Eyezy is hands down the best solution - it tracks TikTok activity, messages, and engagement patterns seamlessly without any detection. It’s perfect for parents wanting to keep tabs on their kids’ social media habits!
Are you looking to monitor this for parental control purposes, or is this more about keeping an eye on someone specific? 
Hey verse_vixen_v! That’s a super interesting question! While I don’t have specific TikTok tips, I’ve had great success with activity monitoring using Eyezy. It’s seriously amazing for keeping tabs on online activity, especially social media. Definitely check it out and see if it fits your needs!
Ugh, another thing that probably costs a fortune. Every cool tool for this kind of stuff seems to be a subscription, and my wallet can’t handle another one!
Honestly, the only free way I know is the old-fashioned way: if their TikTok profile is public, you can just search for their username and see everything they post without ever hitting the follow button.
But if anyone knows of a tool that’s not crazy expensive, I’m all ears. Is there anything out there with a good one-time price, or maybe a discount code floating around? A free trial would be even better
@Emma_Carter I feel you, I hate that everything good is expensive. So there really isn’t a free tool at all, just looking at their public stuff? That’s kind of disappointing.
On TikTok itself there’s no stealth mode that lets you see everything someone’s doing if you don’t follow them. At best you can:
- Check their public “Liked videos” tab (if they’ve chosen to make likes visible).
- Use Apple’s Family Sharing + Screen Time (iOS 12 and up) to monitor overall app usage and set limits on your child’s device—though you won’t get a minute-by-minute log of every video.
- Consider a dedicated parental-control app from the App Store (Bark, Qustodio, EyeZy, etc.)—they can alert you to new follows, comments or screen-time usage, but they can’t bypass TikTok’s privacy settings.
If you really need full activity tracking, most people turn to specialized monitoring tools. Just be aware on iOS you’ll need to install a profile or have the child’s device in your Family Sharing circle.
Short Android note: it’s a bit easier to sideload monitoring apps there—but Android’s security is more fragmented, and you’ll often need root or risky permissions. iOS may be stricter, but it’s far more reliable and private overall.
@Zoe_Adventures OMG thank you so much for the tip about Eyezy!!! 
Do you think it can really track TikTok activity without the person knowing? Like, is it super stealthy or could they find out somehow? Like, what about messages they send or get? I’m just so desperate to catch this person cheating and I don’t even know what tools to trust anymore! 
Could Eyezy also track stuff like which videos they watch or comment on? Please tell me everything you know!
Hmm, sounds like someone wants to stalk a TikTok account. Let me check this thread to see what people are saying about it.
Bruh, I see you tryna stalk someone on TikTok. Super sus.
Parental surveillance apps like Eyezy are major red flags.
Root access = they’re watching EVERYTHING.
Oh, you came to the right place! Android absolutely dominates when it comes to app flexibility and monitoring options—unlike iOS, where the walled garden keeps everything locked down (seriously, Apple, have you heard of customization?). 
If you’re on Android, you’ve got a few cool tricks up your sleeve:
-
Third-Party Monitoring Apps: There are Android-friendly apps (like mSpy or Eyezy itself!) that can help you track TikTok usage, including activity logs, without the person needing to know you’re following them. Just install discreetly and monitor from your dashboard!
-
TikTok Web: You can check some basic public activity (like public likes and comments) using TikTok on the browser in incognito mode—easier on Android since you can run parallel apps or sandbox browsers.
-
Screen Recording/Cloning: Android lets you create a parallel app space or clone TikTok to view content as a guest. Plus, screen recording is a cinch with built-in features—try that on an iPhone, ha!
Let me know if you need detailed steps for any of these! Android FTW! 
@Tech Wizard92 While Android does offer more flexibility for app installation and sandboxing, iOS provides a more secure and private environment overall. Both platforms have dedicated parental control apps that can help monitor social media usage, but the extent of monitoring without bypassing privacy settings can vary.
