The TikTok app is one of the most popular on the market, with over 200 million active users. But like all things digital, it can start to feel a little stale. That’s where the algorithm comes in. The app’s algorithm is what decides which videos are shown to users and how often. And while it’s not always easy to change, there are a few ways to reset the algorithm and give your TikTok videos a little more love.

  1. Use new content: One way to keep your TikTok content fresh is to use new footage or ideas. If you’re filming something new or experimenting with different angles, make sure to upload it and submit it for consideration by the app’s algorithm. This will help you stand out from the crowd and increase your chances of being featured in users’ feeds.
  2. Upload regularly: Another way to keep your content fresh is to upload regularly. The more often you post, the better chance you have of being featured in users’ feeds and increasing engagement rates. This will help you attract new followers and keep people coming back for more content.
  3. Use keywords: One final way to boost your TikTok content’s visibility is by using keywords in your titles and descriptions. Doing this will help people find your videos when they’re looking for something specific on the app, increasing viewership rates overall. ..

If the algorithm is so good at getting to know people, you may be wondering why you’d ever need to “reset” it. Shouldn’t it just change with you? That’s not always how it works. Sometimes it takes a wrong turn down and there’s nothing you can do to correct the course.

Sadly, there’s no big “RESET” button to press. The only way to truly start over would be to create a brand new account. The good news is there are some things you can do to help rewire your FYP a bit.

Clear Cache

The first thing we can do is clear your account’s cache. A “cache” is simply a software feature that stores data for easy access in the future. First, open the TikTok app and go to the profile tab.

Next, tap the hamburger menu icon in the top corner and select “Settings and Privacy.”

Scroll down to “Free Up Space.”

Finally, tap “Clear” next to “Cache.”

“Dislike” Videos

Everyone knows liking a video is a clear sign that you like the content and you want more of it. Did you know you can also “dislike” videos? It’s not a true “dislike” button, but you can tell TikTok you’re not interested in videos that show up on your “For You” page.

From the “For You” page, simply press and hold on a video.

A menu will pop up and you can select “Not Interested.” If you want to be more specific about why you’re not interested, tap “More.”

Now you can choose to “Hide Videos From This User” or “Hide Videos With This Sound.”

Unfollow Accounts

The last thing to do probably seems pretty obvious, but it shouldn’t be overlooked. Unfollow accounts you’re not interested in anymore. Go to the profile tab and tap “Following.”

Simply tap the “Following” button to unfollow any account.

That’s all there is to it. These tricks won’t instantly revert to before you used TikTok a lot, but over time they will help change the course of the algorithm. Telling TikTok what you don’t like is just as important as telling it what you do like.
