If your TikTok For You feed no longer feels relevant, the Refresh feature lets you reset it and start fresh. It is a simple tool with a real impact on what you see. Here is how it works.
What the Refresh feature does
Refresh tells TikTok to treat your For You feed almost like a new account, ignoring your past activity so recommendations start over based on what you engage with from that point on.
How to use it
Go to your profile, open Settings and privacy, tap Content preferences, and choose Refresh your For You feed. TikTok then begins rebuilding your recommendations from scratch.
Why you might use it
It is useful when your interests have changed, when your feed has drifted into content you no longer want, or when you simply want a cleaner start.
What it means for creators and brands
Because audiences can reset their feed, you cannot rely on past reach alone — you have to keep earning relevance with content people genuinely engage with.
