To stop seeing certain videos on TikTok, you need to train the recommendation system and use a few built‑in controls in the app. With some consistent signals (like marking things as “Not interested” and filtering topics), your For You page will slowly shift toward content you actually want.

Quick ways inside the feed

  • Long‑press any video you don’t like and tap “Not interested” ; TikTok then shows fewer videos of that type over time. Doing this regularly is one of the strongest signals you can give to the algorithm.
  • After long‑pressing, tap More (or the three dots) and choose options like hiding videos from that user if you never want to see their content again. This helps if the problem is specific creators rather than whole topics.

Filter topics and keywords

  • Go to Settings and privacy → Content preferences → Filter video keywords and add words related to topics you don’t want to see (for example “wedding” or specific trigger words). TikTok then tries to hide videos whose captions or text include those keywords from your For You feed.
  • You can also adjust content language preferences so you’re less likely to get videos from regions or languages you don’t care about. This is useful if your feed is full of content you can’t understand.

Clear or reset your signals

  • If your feed is stuck on a theme you no longer like, you can clear your watch history under settings to give TikTok a kind of fresh start. This removes many of the signals that were telling the app what you used to enjoy.
  • After clearing history, be intentional: watch to the end, like, and follow only the kind of content you do want so the system relearns your preferences faster.

Safety and sensitive content

  • For disturbing or inappropriate videos, use Report instead of just Not interested; that both protects your own feed and flags the content for review. Reporting is especially useful for violence, abuse, or other sensitive material that shouldn’t be on the platform.
  • Turn on Restricted Mode in settings to automatically filter a broad range of potentially sensitive content, which can make TikTok feel calmer and more family‑friendly.

Extra tips for a better feed

  • Follow creators and topics you genuinely like so TikTok has positive signals, not just blocks and dislikes. Saving and sharing videos you enjoy also nudges recommendations in that direction.
  • Remember that changes are not instant; it can take days of consistent use of “Not interested,” keyword filters, and better engagement before your feed fully shifts.

TL;DR: Use “Not interested,” hide specific users, add keyword filters, clear history if needed, and turn on Restricted Mode for sensitive stuff to seriously cut down on the videos you don’t want to see.
