Why is my TikTok resetting?
The video app has many users pondering why their For You Page has been reset.
Typically the For You Page (FYP for short) is uniquely tailored to the user.
Their usual likes, shares, etc. will generate the algorithm to show them content tailored to their specific interests.
However, TikTok is known to often completely reset making the content appear as if the user just downloaded the app.
In other instances the reset can cause users to have no followers or visible username, while video view counts also reset to zero.
These occurrences appear to be glitches on the app and are not known to be intentional.

How do I fix my TikTok when it resets?
The glitch will typically require users to manually troubleshoot the app themselves.
On the TikTok support page the company explains how to trouble shoot when your account has been logged automatically.
“TikTok may log a user out if someone else is trying to remove an active device from the app settings.
“If you have not authorized this action, your account may have been hacked. Please change the password of your account immediately.”
Another possible trouble shoot technique users could use is to uninstall the app and try to reinstall it once again.
