Sometimes, TikTok’s algorithm starts showing you videos that don’t match your interests. If your For You Page (FYP) feels off, don’t worry! You can reset it to start fresh.

Why Reset Your TikTok Algorithm?
The TikTok algorithm tracks what you like, share, and watch. Over time, it may start showing content that no longer fits your interests. A reset helps you:
- Discover new content
- Remove unwanted trends
- Make your FYP feel fresh again
How To Refresh Your For You Page
If you want to start anew, follow these simple steps:
1. Use the “Refresh Your For You Feed” Feature
In early 2023, TikTok introduced a handy feature to reset your FYP. Here’s how you do it:
- Open TikTok and go to your profile.
- Tap the three-line menu (top right corner).
- Select Settings & Privacy.
- Scroll down and tap Content preferences.
- Tap Refresh Your For You Feed.
- Confirm, and TikTok will reset your recommendations.
2. Engage With New Content
If you don’t want to reset completely, you can train the algorithm by:
- Liking and commenting on videos you enjoy
- Following new creators
- Watching new topics for longer
3. Remove Videos You Don’t Like
If you’re seeing too much of the same thing, tell TikTok to stop showing it:
- Press and hold on a video.
- Tap Not Interested.
- Select a reason if prompted.
This helps TikTok learn what to avoid.
4. Clear Your Cache
Sometimes, clearing your cache helps reset things. Try this:
- Go to Settings & Privacy.
- Scroll down and tap Free up space.
- Select Clear cache.
This removes stored data and helps TikTok load fresh videos.
5. Unfollow Old Interests
If your feed feels repetitive, check your following list and remove creators you no longer enjoy.
- Go to your profile.
- Tap Following.
- Unfollow accounts that no longer interest you.
This helps TikTok adjust recommendations.
6. Watch Different Types of Videos
Variety is key. If you only watch one type of content, TikTok will keep showing more of it.
- Search for new topics.
- Explore the Discover tab.
- Watch full-length videos, not just skipping through.
How Long Does It Take?
Resetting your FYP doesn’t happen overnight. However, if you follow the steps above, your recommendations should update within a few days.
