TikTok generates a fully unique share URL for every person.

If you click that link and it opens in the TikTok app, it'll tell you exactly who shared it and asks you to follow them...



Thankfully you can fix that by following the share link yourself, which will redirect to a full URL to that video, which you can then strip the tracking parameter from.

Very annoying to have to remember to do that though.


That's so clever and a data analyst's dream


yeah also means you can't just delete a utm parameter to avoid being tracked. devilishly clever
