How To Reset The TikTok For You Page | Screen Rant
TikTok users who are no longer enjoying the videos they're being shown on its For You page can effectively 'reset' the app. There's no single reset button to do this, but there are a number of steps users can take to begin reshaping the type of videos they are shown.
The For You page is the main focus of TikTok and the first thing users see when they open the app. It plays an endless stream of videos for users to scroll through, with the app's algorithm determining what they will most enjoy based on their past activity. Factors like whether a video has been liked or shared by a user and whether they follow a certain creator on the platform are taken into account.
However, there's always the chance that a TikTok user may no longer wish to see the type of videos the For You page is showing them. This could be because their tastes have changed over time, they've watched so many similar videos they don't want to watch anymore, or they simply want to broaden their horizons, among other reasons. However a user gets to that point, knowing how to retrain TikTok ensures they can get away from it.
To begin with, it's widely suggested that users empty their cache in the app. It's not actually entirely clear if this helps, but it can't hurt. To do it, users just need to tap the 'Me' tab at the bottom to navigate to their profile, then tap the hamburger menu button in the top right, and select 'Free up space.' Here, they'll find the option to clear their cache.
To be extra thorough, users can look at their liked and favorited videos on their profile page and remove any that they're no longer keen on. Similarly, they can access the list of people they follow from their profile and remove accounts that produce the type of content the users is no longer interested in.
With that all done, users can begin curating the videos they are shown by how they react to the videos they are shown. This means a user being considered about how they react, rather than handing out likes and comments willy-nilly. Users should follow accounts that produce the type of content they're after, interact more with videos they like — such as by rewatching, liking, favoriting, commenting, and sharing — and interact less with videos they're not as keen on. Users should also make use of the 'Not interested' option in the sharing menu for a video if they want to see less of that type of content. With all this in mind, users can shape their For You page and ensure they get served with the videos they're most interested in.
