What is the STEM feed on TikTok?
The STEM feed is an optional feed on TikTok that displays content related to science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). If the STEM setting is turned on, you can find the feed at the top when you open the TikTok app.
How to manage the STEM feed
You can turn the STEM feed setting on or off at any time.
To manage the STEM feed:
1. In the TikTok app, tap Profile at the bottom.
2. Tap the Menu ☰ button at the top, then select Settings and privacy.
3. Tap Content preferences.
4. Tap STEM feed, then turn the feed on or off.
What content is eligible for the STEM feed?
We aim to keep content on the STEM feed appropriate for people 13 years and older, which means it must follow our Community Guidelines. This can include content from the For You feed. If a post is deleted or made ineligible for the For You feed, it's automatically deleted from the STEM feed. Publicly available content on TikTok from any region may be featured on the STEM feed, even if the STEM feed isn't available in that region.
How does TikTok choose which content appears in the STEM feed?
The STEM feed features a wide variety of content across science, technology, engineering, and math. We use internal systems to identify content that's STEM-related, then work with a third-party partner to assess the content and ensure it's appropriate for the STEM feed. Then, a third-party fact-checking organization assesses the reliability of the information presented. If the content doesn't pass both checkpoints, it won't be eligible for the STEM feed.
Note: Some trusted accounts located outside the U.S. won't have their STEM feed content assessed by our third-party partners. However, we'll still review it to make sure it follows our Community Guidelines as per all content on TikTok. Additionally, content from those trusted accounts won't be displayed in the STEM feed for people in the U.S. Trusted accounts may include accredited institutions, organizations, or individuals, such as a science museum or math professor.
