working to make it more enticing. Recently, for example, TikTok introduced a Refresh tool that serves as a clean slate for s who feel their recommendations no longer fit their vibe. By hitting Refresh, s can train the algorithm based only on their new activity.
While auto scroll hasn’t rolled out to everyone on TikTok, some s like @creatorland have begun to see it as an option on videos shown in the For You page. Its function is simple: enable auto scroll and the app will do the rest of the work, scrolling down the feed to play one video after another without any further action from the . s can just hit auto scroll, then prop up their phone and let it play.
Enabling The Auto Scroll Feature
So far, it seems the feature is only available for the For You page. To find it, a just needs to press and hold on a video in the FYP until a menu appears. From there, click ‘Auto scroll.’ Then, head back to the FYP and enjoy effortless scrolling. When one video ends, the next in the lineup will appear. Aside from giving TikTok power s’ thumbs a break, the feature could be a useful accessibility option for those who have limited or no use of their hands.
It still seems it hasn’t made it to all TikTok s, though, and there’s always the possibility that this could be yet another test feature that doesn’t make the final cut. s piling onto the comments of videos showing off the auto scroll function have mixed reports, with some noting that they’ve had it for weeks while others still don’t see it. Others yet say it briefly appeared, and then was gone.
Auto scroll is a feature some s have long been hoping for — and have been finding ways to unofficially implement themselves. There are third-party apps that have been designed to address the need, and s have posted tutorials about how to use their devices’ built-in accessibility features to create an auto scroll voice command. If TikTok does end up keeping an official auto scroll option around, s are sure to be happy about it.
