TC Teach: how to teach TikTok to display videos of interest to you

If you’ve been following us for a while, then you’ve probably noticed that in addition to keeping you informed, we’re always trying to add more knowledge to your everyday life, with tips and tutorials so you can get the most out of your devices and apps.

Today, continuing this routine, we present another tip; this time, for TikTok users! Learn below how to teach the platform’s algorithm to display videos with more interesting content for you; including niche subjects!

Without a doubt, one of the points that made TikTok so popular was the ability of its algorithm to adapt to the tastes of its users, quickly displaying what they would like to see.

And although the social network is not always able to display the best content – ​​sometimes it is necessary to “reset” the For You tab, the level of assertiveness is usually quite high. Even more so if, when creating the account, the user himself already informed some of his categories of interest.

But do you want to know how to leverage the algorithm and receive even better recommendations? Check out the categories below.

Actively use the network

Region, device, accounts you follow, number of replays given in a single video, attention span in long clips, comments and, obviously, “likes” and “dislikes”, are points that the algorithm usually takes into account to continue displaying the content that you seem to like and, more than that, to introduce you to new subjects.

So actively using the app, explicitly stating what you like and don’t like can be one of the keys to getting your perfect feed on For You. Therefore, abuse the “likes” and “not interested”, follow the accounts you are most interested in and, whenever you think you can add, leave a comment.

use the search

But it doesn’t end there! As much as you actively use the platform, TikTok may never introduce you to niche content that you are already interested in. – such as rocket launches, chemistry or motorsport, for example – simply because you think the topic doesn’t fit your profile.

In these cases, one of the best things you can do to start receiving this content is to use the app’s search. This is because when searching for a particular subject, the algorithm is likely to understand your interest and start recommending related videos.

So, in addition to being able to use TikTok for pure entertainment, you can use the full power of the platform to develop a new hobby or to discover new details and curiosities about a specific, niche subject.
