TikTok's New 'Manage Topics' Feature Lets Users Fine-Tune Their For You Feed

TikTok / Manage Topics

TikTok has launched a ‘Manage Topics’ feature, allowing users to customize the content in their For You feed. Currently available in the US, this feature lets users adjust their content preferences across various topics (e.g., sports, food & drinks, lifestyle) using a slider. Users can also tap "More Information" to see detailed descriptions of each topic.

TikTok will adjust the content based on these preferences, though it may take some time for changes to fully reflect. It also says this feature applies only to the For You feed and not to the accounts a user follows or other experiences on TikTok.

Why It Matters: Following last year's option to refresh the For You Feed, this update also gives users more control over their content experience. Instead of having to reset their For You feed completely or manually mark videos they aren’t interested in, "Manage Topics" allows them to adjust their content preferences on a broader and faster scale.
