TikTok has now announced a variety of new features that allow users to more easily customise the display of content on the platform. These include new ways to control content choices, more sophisticated keyword filters using AI, and educational guides to help you customise your 'For You' display.
Manage topics
TikTok is now expanding the 'Manage Topics' feature that allows you to adjust how often videos related to over 10 popular topics, such as sports, travel, entertainment, creative arts and dance appear on your 'For You' pages.
According to TikTok, this setting does not eliminate any topics, but it can affect how often those topics are suggested based on your changing interests over time.
To customise the topics in your feed, go to "Settings and Privacy" and select Content preferences > Manage topics. Then, you can move the slider under each topic to determine how often they want to see related videos, and press "Save. "
Keyword filter
In addition, TikTok also launched a "Smart Keyword Filters" feature, allowing users to block more content that appears or does not want to be seen in their feed.
Keyword filters have previously been used to block over 200 million words from feeds worldwide. Now, the platform uses artificial intelligence (AI) technology that filters not only the keywords entered, but also related words such as synonyms. The tool displays keywords that are currently blocked, and in the coming months, users will be able to select specific words to include or exclude.
In addition, TikTok also plans to increase the keyword limit to 200 per user, compared to 100 keywords previously Meanwhile, TikTok also launched an educational guide containing tips and tools to help users understand how the 'For You' page works and how to coordinate it more effectively.
These updates and new features are accessible to all users, including teen and adult accounts.
