Unsplash: Olivier BergeronIf you’re an avid TikTok user, you have probably noticed the activity status in your inbox section which allows you to see who else is online at the moment. Here’s everything to know about it.
It’s easy to connect with friends on TikTok, and if you follow each other back, you can stay up to date with what each other is posting. It’s also simple to send other people messages on the platform and exchange your favorite videos.
In 2022, TikTok introduced an Activity Status feature, which, if both parties have the feature enabled, means you will be able to see whether or not your friends are online, making communicating even easier. Fortunately, turning the feature on and off is very easy.

You will only be able to see whether someone’s active or when they were last active if you are mutual followers, and if you both have the feature switched on. In addition, you must be over the age of 18 to have access.
To turn the feature on and off, simply do as follows:
- Open TikTok.
- Click on your profile in the bottom right corner.
- Tap the three lines in the top right, then ‘Settings and privacy.’
- Click ‘Privacy.’
- Next to ‘Activity status,’ tap the toggle button to switch the feature either on or off.
