Clearing "Not Interested" History on YouTube

Did you accidentally tap "Not Interested" on a video you liked? While there's no undo action on TikTok or Instagram, this doesn't mean you'll never see the same content again. There are ways to fix your algorithm and even find the flagged video in your watch history. If you're using YouTube, you can clear your Not Interested feedback. Here's how to undo "Not Interested" on a video using TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube.

Recovering "Not Interested" Videos

To undo videos you flagged as "Not Interested", continue to interact with the original video and similar videos. To find your watch history, navigate to your profile > Settings and privacy > Activity center > Watch history.

You can't undo the "Not Interested" button on TikTok. If you accidentally tapped this button when trying to select another, there's no way to undo the action itself. However, this doesn't mean TikTok will completely stop showing you related videos, especially if it was a one-time mistake.
- If the video disappeared from your For You page and you're not sure who the creator is, you can easily find the video again in your watch history.
- If you're worried about the accidental button tap affecting your algorithm, you can try to fix your algorithm by interacting with the original video and similar videos.

Let the video play on repeat. TikTok curates your For You page algorithm using many factors, including engagement. This includes how long you stay on a video and how long you watch for.^{[1]

- If you accidentally pressed Not Interested for a video, open the video, and then let it replay as long as you want. You could also do this for other videos you like and want to see more of.
Like the video, leave a comment, favorite the video, and tap the Share button to copy the link to your device's clipboard. These actions all count as engagement, so TikTok should learn to show you similar content.
If you see a tag in the video's bio, you can tap the tag to be redirected to it. You should see other videos with the same tag. Searching for these tags and interacting with tagged videos can help your algorithm.

TikTok may recommend fewer videos like the original video. However, TikTok's algorithm is constantly evolving. Even if you intended to flag a video as "Not Interested" it can take a few tries to actually stop similar videos from showing up on your For You page.
- If you accidentally flag a video, don't be alarmed. More likely than not, you'll still see similar videos pop up until you continue to flag them.
- On the other hand, if you want to see less of something, you can block the creator so their content doesn't show up on your For You page.
