TikTok has added an AI-generated content preference to Manage topics for eligible accounts. The slider lets a person ask the For You feed to show less or more AI-generated content. It does not block every AI video, remove posts from TikTok, or change the Following feed, profiles, inbox, and other areas. Availability can still depend on account, region, device, and app version.
Quick Answer
In the TikTok app, go to Profile, open the menu, select Settings and privacy, choose Content preferences, and tap Manage topics. If your account has the AI-generated content category, move its slider toward less and save. TikTok says topic controls influence how often content appears in the For You feed rather than removing a category completely, and the change can take time to affect recommendations.
What the TikTok AI Content Control Does
TikTok announced the AI-generated content control in November 2025 as an addition to Manage topics. The existing feature already lets users adjust categories such as sports, food and drinks, lifestyle, and other subjects. The AI setting treats AI-generated content as another preference that can be dialed up or down.
The control is designed to:
- Signal that you want less or more AI-generated content in the For You feed
- Work alongside existing topic preferences
- Adjust future recommendations over time
- Give users a direct setting beyond reacting to individual posts
The control is not designed to:
- Remove every AI-generated video
- Hide a specific creator across all TikTok surfaces
- Delete or report a video
- Change the Following feed, profiles, or inbox
- Guarantee an immediate transformation of the For You feed
TikTok described the feature as a way to tailor the range of content, not as a moderation rule. Moving the slider therefore changes a preference signal rather than creating a strict filter.
How to Limit AI Videos From Settings
Use the mobile app because the relevant feed controls may not be available in the desktop browser interface.
- Open TikTok and tap Profile at the bottom.
- Tap the menu button at the top.
- Select Settings and privacy.
- Tap Content preferences.
- Open Manage topics.
- Find AI-generated content if it is available for your account.
- Move the slider toward the lower setting.
- Tap Save at the top.
The direction and labels can vary with interface updates. Read the on-screen description before saving, then allow time for the For You feed to respond.
How to Open Manage Topics From the For You Feed
TikTok also documents a route from an individual For You post. This path is useful when a video reminds you to review the broader feed settings.
- Tap Share on the side of a post in the For You feed.
- Select Why this video.
- Tap Adjust your For You.
- Select Manage topics.
- Adjust the available sliders.
- Tap Save.
The AI-generated content slider may not appear even when the general Manage topics page is available. TikTok initially described the AI control as a test, and later coverage continued to note uneven availability.
Why the AI Slider May Be Missing
A missing slider does not necessarily mean the account is configured incorrectly. Feature rollouts are often staged, and the AI option can arrive separately from the main Manage topics menu.
Check the following:
- Update TikTok through the official app store.
- Restart the app after the update.
- Confirm that you are checking the mobile app rather than a desktop browser.
- Look under Content preferences, not general privacy controls.
- Check the route from Why this video in the For You feed.
- Allow for regional or account-level testing differences.
- Use other feed controls while waiting for the AI category.
Avoid downloading modified TikTok apps or giving account credentials to a third party that promises early access. The setting is controlled by TikTok’s rollout, not an external unlock service.
What to Use If the AI Control Is Not Available
TikTok provides several other ways to shape recommendations. None is identical to the AI slider, but they can reduce repeated unwanted themes or reset accumulated feed signals.
Mark Individual Videos as Not Interested
Use Not interested when a specific post is unwanted. This sends feedback about the current video and related recommendations. Repeat the action consistently on clearly irrelevant posts rather than watching them to the end.
Manage Other Topics
Adjust existing categories in Manage topics. This works at a broader subject level, such as sports or food, and only applies to the For You feed.
Filter Keywords
Keyword filters can reduce posts containing selected words or related terms when supported. This is useful for a recurring subject, name, or phrase, but it will not identify every AI-generated video because many AI posts do not use the same caption words.
Refresh the For You Feed
Refreshing the For You feed is a broader reset. Use it when recommendations across many categories no longer match what you want. It is less precise than adjusting one topic slider.
Unfollow or Mute Specific Accounts
If the issue comes mainly from a few accounts, manage those account relationships directly. The AI preference changes a category signal and does not replace creator-level controls.
How TikTok Identifies AI Generated Content
The preference relies on TikTok’s ability to identify AI-generated content. TikTok already requires creators to label realistic AI-generated material in relevant circumstances and has used automated labeling for content carrying Content Credentials. In its November 2025 announcement, TikTok also said it would begin adding invisible watermarks to content made with TikTok AI tools and to uploads carrying C2PA Content Credentials.
Identification can involve several signals:
- A label applied by the creator
- A label added automatically by TikTok
- Content Credentials attached by a compatible tool or platform
- Invisible watermarking added during creation or upload
- TikTok’s own detection systems
No detection system is perfect. Unlabeled AI content may still appear, and a labeled post may remain in the feed even when the preference is set lower because the control is not a complete block.
What the Update Means for Creators
Creators do not receive a dashboard showing which viewers adjusted the AI preference or where their sliders are set. The setting also does not automatically mean that a labeled AI video violates TikTok rules.
Creators using AI should focus on accurate disclosure and clear editorial choices:
- Label realistic AI-generated or significantly edited content when TikTok requires it.
- Do not remove or obscure automatic AI labels.
- Keep records of the tools and source material used.
- Review rights for voices, faces, music, footage, and other assets.
- Avoid impersonation or misleading claims about real people and events.
- Add meaningful human review before publishing generated material.
- Monitor TikTok’s current AI content policy because requirements can change.
Famety lists TikTok view packages for creators comparing related services. That page is separate from Manage topics and does not change a viewer’s AI-generated content preference.
AI Slider Compared With Other TikTok Controls
Choose the control that matches the problem rather than using every setting at once.
- AI-generated content slider: adjusts how often a broad content type may appear in the For You feed.
- Manage topics: adjusts other broad subject categories in the For You feed.
- Not interested: responds to an individual post and related recommendations.
- Keyword filters: targets selected words and related terms when available.
- Refresh your For You feed: resets a wider set of recommendation signals.
- Unfollow or mute: manages content from a particular account.
After changing a setting, use TikTok normally for several sessions before judging the result. Making repeated opposite changes can send inconsistent signals.
