Original Sound Usage
Share of videos set to an “original sound”: audio a TikTok user uploaded rather than a licensed track. It can be this creator's own or another user's upload; Top Sounds below names who made each one.
Posting Patterns & Optimal Timing
Based on 37 videos
The videos we analysed went up most often on Friday and most around 20:00 and 21:00 UTC.
Posting Frequency
How often the account posts, against the typical tracked creator. It tells you whether to expect a steady stream or occasional drops.
Not shown for this account. The 37 videos we analysed include 3 pinned videos, which TikTok keeps at the top of a profile however old they are. Counting them stretches the date range, so a weekly rate from this sample would understate how often the account posts. The day and hour charts count the same videos.
Most Active Days
Which days of the week new videos most often appear. These are upload times, when fresh content lands, not necessarily when the audience is watching.
Posting Hours (UTC)
A heatmap of the hours (UTC) when this account publishes. Darker or taller blocks are the busier posting windows. Read it as the creator's release schedule, not their audience's active hours.
How to read these charts
This account posts most on Friday and Monday with the busiest hour at 21:00 UTC.
