Altering Your 'Discover' Feed on TikTok: A Step-by-Step Guide
==================================================================
If you're feeling overwhelmed by your TikTok 'For You' feed and want a fresh start, TikTok offers a built-in feature to reset the algorithm. Here's a simple guide on how to do it.
Step-by-Step Guide
- Open the TikTok app and navigate to your Profile, located at the bottom right corner.
- Tap the menu icon (three lines) at the top right.
- Select "Settings and privacy."
- Under "Content & Display," choose "Content preferences."
- Tap "Refresh your For You feed."
- Click "Continue" on the next screen.
- In the final step, confirm the reset by tapping "Refresh," acknowledging that this action can’t be undone.
After resetting, TikTok will initially show you popular content, and gradually learn from what you like based on your fresh interactions and engagement. This includes watching videos fully, liking or commenting on what you enjoy, and marking as "Not interested" any content you dislike.
For the best results post-reset, actively engage with TikTok content to guide the algorithm quickly toward your current interests.
Important Notes
- This reset is permanent and cannot be undone, but it only affects your 'For You' feed, not your Following feed or profile.
- TikTok does not have an official 'Refresh' button, but the option to refresh your 'For You' feed can be found within the settings.
- Active engagement methods, such as watching, commenting, disliking, and searching, can help guide your TikTok feed quickly toward what you enjoy.
By following these steps, you can effectively start over with tailored content recommendations on TikTok. Happy viewing!
Engaging with technology like TikTok requires active participation for optimal results. To improve social-media entertainment on TikTok, consider posting-reset as a tool to help the algorithm cater to your preferences.
