What is the photo swipe trend on TikTok?
TikTok has incorporated a new feature following Instagram’s swipe feature when posting photos.
The app has now introduced its own version of photo swiping with a twist.
Users are now able to combine photo slideshows set to music and are still able to add stickers, filters, text, and other features that could previously be used when posting a photo.
While the photo swipe feature has been rolled out, it is not yet available to all users as TikTok is slowly granting access to users.
How can I use the photo swipe feature?
Using the photo swipe feature is simple and similar to the option on Instagram.
To use the new feature, users should click the plus sign at the bottom of the page and select upload to see the photos and videos saved on your phone.
Like Instagram, you select which photos or videos you want to add and then have the option to select a filter.
The newly added step will allow you to pick a background song before adding text or a caption.
The final step is to click post and your slideshow will be uploaded to your page.

How have users responded to the trend?
Some users are using the photo swipe feature to tell a story through their photos with one person uploading the slideshow to talk about running late.
Meanwhile, others are saying they don’t understand the trend, and one person posted a series of photos with the caption, “Let’s ignore the fact that idk how to do the photo swipe trend.”
Some are asking for advice on how to work the new feature and receiving advice from those who have already accessed it and say you need to update the app for it to show up.
In other photo swipe slideshows, users are using it for inspiration or to show off their pets.
However, not everyone is happy with the new trend.
One user posted a video of an empty street and the caption, “Tired of the photo swipe trend already.”
