There is no doubt that TikTok is one of the social networks that causes the most addiction among mobile device users. This effect is mainly caused by the technology in the development of your mobile application, specifically artificial intelligence technology.
The TikTok application has many artificial intelligence algorithms to work optimally and offer a safe experience for all types of audiences. With them you can detect content that goes against the rules of use of the community, facilitate the editing of short videos, apply image effects, among other options.
But there is one that gives it more dynamism. It is the one that, with machine learning techniques, can predict the content that users are most interested in based on a variety of parameters and present it on the screen for playback from the For You section. This content recommendation algorithm usually works without problems, but there may be occasions in which the content it presents is no longer relevant to the user due to a change in preferences or insufficient variety.
For these cases, there is the possibility of restarting the TikTok algorithm linked to the For You function. This is a procedure that has been published in press releases by ByteDance, the company that owns TikTok, in which it states that with a few simple adjustments to the mobile application settings it is possible to start from scratch on the short video platform. That is, without having to open a new account.
