Your TikTok FYP, or For You Page, can start showing videos you no longer care about. Maybe your feed is full of random trends, repeated topics, or content you accidentally watched too many times.
To reset your TikTok FYP, go to Settings and privacy, open Content Preferences, and tap Refresh your For You feed. This gives your For You feed a fresh start without deleting your account, videos, likes, profile, inbox, or Following feed. TikTok says the refresh only affects your For You feed, and once you confirm it, the action cannot be undone.
How to Reset Your TikTok FYP
Follow these steps:
- Tap Profile.
- Press the Menu button.
- Go to Settings and privacy.
- Tap Content Preferences.
- Select Refresh your For You feed.
- Follow the on-screen steps to confirm.
After this, TikTok will start rebuilding your recommendations based on your new activity.
Some users may also see this option directly from the For You feed. Press and hold a video, or tap Share, then choose Why this video, tap Adjust your For You, and select Refresh your For You feed. TikTok says this feed-based option is only available in select regions.
If your feed looks different because you are using another profile, make sure you are on the right account first. Here is how to switch accounts on TikTok if you need to check.
What Happens When You Refresh Your FYP?
Refreshing your FYP does not erase your TikTok account or reset everything you have done on the app. It only changes the recommendations in your For You feed.
After the reset, your FYP may show more general or popular videos at first. That is normal. TikTok uses your new behavior, such as what you watch, skip, like, comment on, and share, to reshape your recommendations.
How to Fix Your FYP After Resetting It
Resetting your FYP helps, but your next actions matter most. TikTok’s recommendations are influenced by signals such as videos you watch in full, videos you skip, accounts you follow, content you like or share, captions, sounds, hashtags, language, and device settings.
To retrain your FYP faster:
- Watch videos you actually want to see more of.
- Skip videos you do not like.
- Tap Not interested on unwanted content.
- Search for topics you want TikTok to recommend.
- Follow creators who post the type of videos you enjoy.
- Avoid hate-watching content, because watch time can still influence your feed.
You can also use keyword filters, manage topics, and the Not interested option to shape what appears on your For You feed. If reposted videos are taking over your feed, resetting your FYP may help, but you may also want to clean up repost activity. Here is how to see, find, and remove reposts on TikTok.
FAQ
If you do not see Refresh your For You feed, update TikTok first. The option may appear under Content Preferences, Adjust your For You, or the Why this video menu, depending on your account and region.
You can also try closing and reopening the app, checking from another device, or looking again later.
No. It only affects your For You feed recommendations. Your likes, profile, inbox, Following feed, and ads are not reset.
No, not fully. Clearing cache may remove temporary app data, but the proper reset option is Refresh your For You feed.
No. Resetting your FYP changes what you see. It does not directly help your videos appear on other people’s For You Pages.
Conclusion
The fastest way to reset your TikTok FYP is to go to Settings and privacy > Content Preferences > Refresh your For You feed.
After refreshing, be intentional with what you watch, skip, like, search, and follow. TikTok will use those new signals to rebuild your For You Page around your current interests.
