TikTok is introducing a new feature that lets you reset your For You feed and start fresh to retrain the app’s algorithm about content you enjoy. The company announced today that it’s rolling out “Refresh,” a new option for users who feel like their feed recommendations are no longer catered toward their interests.
The new feature shouldn’t be confused with the app’s pull-down refresh option, as the new tool basically resets your For You feed to its original setting in a way. When the refresh feature is enabled, the app will surface content on the For You page as if you have just signed up for TikTok. The app’s recommendation system will then begin to surface more content based on new interactions.
If you enable the new feature, your Following feed, profile and inbox won’t be affected. In other words, although your For You feed will get a fresh start, the rest of your app experience will remain untouched.
The new feature is welcome addition for peo...
