(Pocket-lint) – One of TikTok’s greatest strengths is how audio clips can go viral, turning into a sea of memes, references and callbacks.
However, these trends can quickly become stale and if you’ve grown past that, or never liked it, it can really rob you of the joy of scrolling on TikTok.
So how do you stop the algorithm from serving you endless videos with a certain soundtrack? Luckily, it’s easier than you think.
How to block a sound on TikTok
When the offending sound appears in your feed, follow the steps below:
- Touch and hold the video that plays the sound you don’t want.
- In the context menu, find Not interested and press More on the right side.
- Then select Hide videos with this sound.
This tells TikTok that you want to see fewer videos with that sound, but it doesn’t completely block it.
On the other hand, the algorithm is less likely to send you a video with this sound. The exact details of how this algorithm works have not been disclosed by TikTok.
If you still see too many videos with this soundtrack for your taste, you can simply repeat the steps above, to reduce the likelihood of this soundtrack appearing.
This awesome system will save you time and effort every time you pay.
