You might think you know which is the most viewed video in TikTok history, but you’ll be surprised when you find out who holds the record.
If you think it’s some elaborate video or even something simple but posted by someone very famous, you’d be completely wrong.
The most viewed video in TikTok history is a 10-second clip shared by a user named Lasi on June 7, 2023.
The clip in question features nothing more, nothing less than a black screen. Yes, that’s right. And it has already accumulated over 3.6 billion views and more than 1.1 million likes.

Understandably, no one in the comments seems to get the reason behind it. “3.7 billion views for a black screen is crazy,” commented a TikTok user. “Is this it? Seriously?” asked another.
The former record holder was Zach King, a famous special effects influencer who made a video where he appears to “fly” on a broomstick while cosplaying as Harry Potter.
The video has 2.3 billion views and was very well-produced, so it’s a shame King lost the title to a… black screen. Still, he kept his good humor and said, “Maybe my videos were too clear!”.
