How to find your own best time to post on TikTok
Your followers may keep different hours than the study. In TikTok analytics, the Followers tab shows Most active times: when your viewers were on TikTok over the last 7 days (TikTok Creator Academy).
Post at those hours for a few weeks, alternating with the times above, and compare views and engagement. Keep the hours that win and recheck every few months: audiences shift as your account grows.
