In the age of the algorithm, speaking their language is essential to have some control over what it shows us during the time we spend hooked on social networks. In that sense, TikTok is no exception and We can show you which content is the one that interests us the most so that the quality of our experience increases. We tell you how.
Like most social networks, the goal of the TikTok algorithm is to identify which videos you might be interested in, so one of the easiest ways to help you is by remembering to “like” those we like. Nevertheless, if they start to appear in your feed unwanted clips you can also let the platform know.
While undoing a like that we have given a certain video by mistake is as easy as clicking again on the heart icon, too is there a way we can explicitly tell TikTok that we want to see less of that type of content.
How to tell TikTok we’re not interested in a video
- Click on the video in question and hold it down until a menu with different options is displayed.
- Among the options offered by the menu will be “save video”, “add to favorites” “report” and “I’m not interested”. The latter is the one that interests us on this occasion.
- In the event that you dislike the content so much that you need an extra reinforcement, you will see that next to “I’m not interested” we are given the option to display an additional menu with extra options.
- If we click on “plus” we will can “hide videos of this user” to cover all the content of a person or “hide videos with this sound”, especially useful to avoid running into a certain viral audio.
