When you first open TikTok, it can be tempting to like every video you see and follow every creator you find. But following too many creators can leave your Home feed cluttered and uninteresting.

Luckily, TikTok gives you full control over who you follow or unfollow. Here's how to do both on iPhone or Android.

How to follow someone on TikTok

1. Open TikTok and head to the profile of the person you want to follow. You can do this by tapping on their username in a video or message, or by searching for them.
