If you’re seeing the same TikToks repeatedly, it’s likely due to the app’s algorithm. To refresh your feed, try interacting with more diverse content: like, comment, and follow different types of creators. You can also clear your app cache or reset your app preferences to see a broader range of content.

FAQs & Answers

  1. Why do I see the same TikToks over and over? Seeing the same TikToks is often due to the algorithm that curates your feed based on previous interactions. It favors content you've engaged with before.
  2. How can I change what I see on TikTok? To diversify your TikTok feed, engage with a variety of content by liking, commenting, and following different creators. Additionally, consider clearing your app cache.
  3. What does clearing the TikTok app cache do? Clearing the app cache removes temporary files and may help refresh your feed, allowing you to see a wider range of content instead of repetitive TikToks.
  4. How does the TikTok algorithm decide what I see? The TikTok algorithm analyzes your interactions, such as likes and shares, to recommend content that it predicts you'll enjoy, which can lead to repetitive viewing patterns.
