If you’ve been scrolling through TikTok for a while and suddenly see a message saying “No more results”, it simply means you’ve reached the end of the available content for your current feed. Here are some common reasons why you may see this message and what you can do about it:
You’ve scrolled through all the content in your FYP
The most common reason you see the “no more results” message is that you’ve scrolled through all the videos that TikTok has curated for you in your For You feed based on your interests, likes, and previous watching history.
When you first open TikTok, the app shows you content from accounts you follow as well as videos picked for you by its recommendation algorithm. But there are only so many recommended videos available at one time. Once you’ve scrolled through them all, TikTok has nothing left to show you.
The good news is your For You Page content refreshes frequently. If you close TikTok and come back later, you’ll likely see new videos populating your feed again. TikTok is constantly working behind the scenes to find trending and relevant content to serve you.
Your account is new
If your TikTok account is brand new, the app may not have enough data yet to populate your For You feed with a lot of recommendations. So you could hit the “no more results” message fairly quickly after opening the app.
The more you interact with videos, follow accounts that interest you, like content, and search for topics you want to see, the more TikTok’s algorithm will learn about your preferences. Over time, it will get better at filling up your feed.
Posting your own videos can also help train the recommendation system faster, as it learns about the type of content you create and engage with.
Your watch history was recently cleared
If you recently cleared your TikTok viewing history from your account settings, it temporarily erased the data TikTok uses to recommend content to you. So your For You feed may lack enough variety to keep you scrolling for long.
Don’t worry, the more you reengage with the app, the quicker your recommendations will build back up. TikTok just needs you to reestablish some of your interests first.
You have viewing restrictions turned on
TikTok allows you to restrict certain content from appearing in your feeds under the Digital Wellbeing section of your settings. For example, you can limit videos with mature themes or enable restricted mode.
If you have enabled a lot of restrictions, it significantly narrows down the selection of content eligible for your For You Page. So you’re likely to tap through it faster and see the “no more results” message.
Check your Digital Wellbeing settings if you want to remove any limitations and widen the pool of content TikTok can show you.
You’re searching a narrow or uncommon topic
When you use TikTok’s search bar to look for specific keywords or hashtags, the app will display results based on that query. But niche topics that aren’t trending or don’t have much content created around them can quickly hit a “no more results” wall.
Try searching for more general or popular keywords related to your topic to find more videos. Or broaden your search over time by periodically looking up new keyword variations.
You have connectivity issues
In order to load fresh video recommendations in your feed, TikTok needs a stable internet connection. If you have a spotty mobile data or WiFi signal, the app may struggle to retrieve enough content to keep you scrolling.
Check that your device has a strong internet connection. Move closer to your wireless router, disable VPN services, or wait until you have a better WiFi or cellular data signal. This will allow TikTok to pull down more video results.
What to do when you see “no more results”
Don’t worry too much if you regularly run into the “no more results” end of your For You feed. Here are some tips to refresh your TikTok recommendations:
- Close and relaunch the TikTok app after some time has passed to reset your feed.
- Like, share, and engage with videos to give TikTok fresh signals for better recommendations.
- Follow some new accounts in niche topics you want to see more of in your feed.
- Click the search icon and look for specific hashtags and sounds to discover new content.
- Tap the profile icon, then switch from “For You” to check your “Following” feed.
- Update your watch history settings to increase how long TikTok stores your viewing activity.
Changing content preferences
If you feel like you’ve hit a rut and keep seeing the same kinds of repetitive videos in your feed, TikTok makes it easy to reset your recommendations.
Go to your profile, tap the three-dot menu button, and select “Change content preferences.” This will allow you to reset the topics and accounts that TikTok associates with your interests.
You can also select “Not interested” on specific videos to see fewer similar recommendations. Or tap and hold on a video thumbnail then choose “Not interested in this video” to remove that content from your feed.
Conclusion
Seeing the “no more results” message on TikTok simply indicates you’ve scrolled through all of the currently available videos for your personalized For You feed. It’s a natural part of using the app once you’ve caught up on your recommended content.
Stay engaged with the videos, sounds, hashtags, and creators you like to keep giving TikTok fresh signals. Its recommendation algorithm will continue working behind the scenes to analyze your behavior and refill your feed with new trending videos.
Changing your Digital Wellbeing restriction settings, troubleshooting connectivity issues, and periodically resetting your content preferences can also help ensure your For You Page stays filled with a wide variety of engaging video results.
