TikTok has introduced a “Find Similar” feature for users, which uses AI to suggest similar products, videos, and accounts based on the current video. This feature only works when you pause a video in the TikTok feed.
If you have recently updated the TikTok application on your Android or iPhone, then this feature has been enabled automatically. However, many users are annoyed with this feature and want to get rid of it. In this article, I have explained in detail how you can disable TikTok’s Find Similar feature.
