Can you reset your TikTok For You Page?

Resetting your For You Page on TikTok is a great way to reset the type of content you get from the algorithm, but sometimes it might also be necessary to get the app to work better.

Most TikTok users watch content by scrolling through their For You Page, which as the name suggests is a feed tailored specifically to each user according to an algorithm that tracks what users are interested in.

However, you may find that you are frequently recommended things that you no longer have an interest in, or that aren’t relevant to you at all. So, is there a way to start fresh and reset your For You Page on the platform?
