Does FYP keep repeating videos on TikTok? Here are 5 ways to fix your preferences
TikTok's algorithm is known for just showing you what you want to watch, which can keep you scrolling for hours. The app's smart algorithm learns your behaviors and the For You page (FYP) keeps repeating the videos on the vertical video app.
FYP functions as an individual landing page for users, displaying curated content that TikTok believes they will watch or like. TikTok's FYP (For You page) algorithm is a combination of watch time, likes, comments, playtime, and an indication that the video has been played.

5 ways to fix your preferences on TikTok
Here are 5 ways by which you can fix your preferences on TikTok
1. Press 'Not Interested'- Notifying the app that you don't like a video can help avoid similar patterns and sounds in the future. Long-press screen, click the broken heart icon with the words 'Not Interested'.
2. Add to favorites- Save content to your Favorites library to help the algorithm deliver better material and save ideas for later development.
3. Comment on videos you like- TikTok considers all forms of involvement to help build better recommendations, so comments are essential for updating your FYP and curating a better one.
4. Change location- TikTok is hyper-local, providing videos from locals even if not viral. You may, however, mislead the app into thinking you live somewhere else if you really want to shake things up. You'll need to use a VPN on your phone for this.
5. Watch and re-watch- When the app recognizes that you've finished watching something, it assumes you enjoyed it. If you want to watch the similar content again then re-watch the video and like it and other similar videos.
