If you’ve ever wanted to scroll through your TikTok For You Page without touching your device, there’s an iPhone settings hack that allows you to scroll hands-free. Here’s how to try it.
Within the span of a few years, ByteDance-owned TikTok has become one of the biggest social media platforms out there, rivaling apps like Instagram.
While users used to only be able to upload videos up to a minute long, that time limit has since extended to 10 minutes, and people use that time to share anything from dances and viral trends, to storytimes and bizarre filters.
Users usually browse this content using the algorithm-based For You Page, which you navigate by swiping up every time you want to view a new video.
However, perhaps you’ve wondered whether it would be more comfortable to scroll if you didn’t even have to touch your device. Using one iPhone settings trick shared by user roxanna.roxi, you can.
