How will it work?

TikTok is known to loop the video you are watching. When the movie ends, the system automatically restarts the movie. This can be annoying in some cases; For example, when you cannot touch the screen while brushing your teeth or doing the dishes.

Autoscroll offers to eliminate this shortcoming. As its name suggests, it disables the loop and automatically skips to the next video when the previous video ends.

It’s surprising that such a necessary option is not yet available in one of the world’s most popular video services. The same YouTube has been offering autoplay of the next video since 2014.

There’s no official word from TikTok about this feature yet, but the app rolled out auto-scrolling to some users in early 2023, and reports on social media indicate that the feature has been rolled out to more accounts over the past few weeks.

Large platforms like TikTok often test new features on a limited number of random (or not-so) people. But it’s been a full year since users started noticing the feature, and a wide release hasn’t happened. Chances are the company encountered bugs in its app or temporarily switched to something else.

According to observers, a significant number of users already have access to this function. Here’s how to check if you’re one of them: Tap and hold any video in the For You or Following stream to find auto-scrolling. If you’ve already enabled auto-scrolling, you’ll see an auto-scrolling button along with other features like Report, Dislike, Save Video, and more. Just press the button to activate it. Likewise, you can turn off auto-scrolling.

It is not known when the new feature will spread to the whole world.
