For You Page

The "For You Page" is a page that appears when the video-sharing app TikTok is opened. The FYP is filled with content recommended by the app, based on what it believes each user will enjoy the most. TikTok content creators hashtag their videos #fyp and strive to get them on the "For You Pages," as this results in more views, more likes and (probably) more followers. For example:

• Dani: Our video is on the #FYP!
• Sam: Have we got any shares?!
• Dani: Over forty thousand!

Tips for getting on the #FYP include:

• Ensuring the video quality (especially lighting) is good.
• Using the FYP hashtag (#FYP).
• Creating a video relevant to a trending hashtag.
