1. Reset Your TikTok FYP
If you don’t like what you see on your TikTok For You Page (FYP), you can reset it to get new kinds of videos.
To reset your TikTok FYP, do this:
1. Open TikTok and go to your profile.
2. Tap the three dots in the top right corner and find Settings & Privacy.
3. Scroll to Content Preferences and tap it. Then, pick the Refresh Your For You feed.
4. Tap Continue, then Refresh.
You can say why you’re resetting your feed if you want, then press Submit.
After resetting, watch and like videos you enjoy, so TikTok learns what you like. Follow these steps to get the videos you want to watch.
2. Follow TikTok Accounts You Like
Start following people you like on TikTok. This makes sure you see more of their videos on your For You Page (FYP) and helps TikTok suggest videos like theirs to you.
To follow someone, click on their name when you’re watching one of their videos, and then hit the Follow button on their page.
You can also clean up your list of who you follow if you’re getting videos you don’t like because of them.
To see who you’re following, go to your Profile and click on the number that says Following. If you want to stop following someone, click the Following button next to their name.
3. Watch and Re-Watch Videos You Like on TikTok
TikTok’s Help site says that how long you watch a video matters a lot.
If you watch a video from start to finish, TikTok figures you probably liked it. Watching the same video more than once is an even stronger sign that you enjoyed it.
4. Select “Not Interested” on TikTok Videos You Don’t Like
What if you watch a video to the end but it turns out to be misleading? Just because you watched it all doesn’t mean you’re stuck with more of the same. You can tell TikTok you don’t like it to stop getting similar videos.
To let TikTok know you don’t like a video, press and hold it until a menu shows up. Then tap the broken heart that says not interested. You can find this option under the Share button too.
And if you don’t want to see anything from a certain creator again, you can block their account on TikTok.
5. Like and Share the TikTok Content You Enjoy
Hitting the Like button on the right tells TikTok you enjoyed a video. Liked videos go into a special folder in your profile for you to easily find later. You can choose if only you or everyone else can see this folder.
To see videos you’ve liked, go to your profile and tap the heart icon on the right. It’ll show you all your favorite TikTok videos.
The Share button is right next to the Like button. If you like a video, you can share it with friends on WhatsApp or Instagram stories using this button.
6. Add TikTok Videos and Hashtags to Your Favorites
If you like a TikTok video, you can save it to your favorites. This means you can easily watch it again or share it later. You can save videos, sounds, special effects, hashtags, and questions in a special place called favorites, right next to where you edit your profile.
This way, you can quickly find and look at your favorite things on TikTok at any time.
7. Comment on TikTok Videos You Like
TikTok uses how much people interact with videos to improve its suggestions, making comments very important. You might have seen folks commenting things like “commenting to stay on this side of TikTok” to show they want to see more videos like it.
If you want more videos like the ones you enjoy, remember to comment on them.
8. Filter Out Video Keywords and Hashtags on TikTok
Even when you tell TikTok you don’t like some types of videos, it might still show you those, especially if they’re part of a viral trend or hashtag.
To stop seeing these videos, you can block specific video keywords.
Here’s how to do it:
- Go to your TikTok profile and tap on the three lines at the top.
- Choose Settings and Privacy from the menu that appears.
- Scroll to find Content preferences, then tap on Filter video keywords.
- Hit the Add keyword button, and type the word you want to block in the Enter a keyword box. Decide if you want this word blocked from your For You or Following feeds.
- Click Save when you’re finished.
You can only block one word or hashtag each time, so you might need to do it several times for all the words you don’t want to see.
By doing this, you’ll start seeing more videos that you like. The more you tell the app what you like or don’t like, the better it will get at showing you videos you enjoy.
