The TikTok video that freezes scrolling explained — and how to fix it
NY Post
Users on TikTok are raising concerns due to a new viral video that appears to freeze their feeds after viewing it.
TikToker @noahglenncarter, who regularly posts about viral trends on the platform, made a post explaining the video that “has broken TikTok.”
“You literally cannot scroll past it,” Noah exclaimed in the video that has garnered 12.1 million views.
The clip doesn’t actually affect people’s phones — just their TikTok app. In a yet-to-be-discovered way, it manipulates the user interface to prevent people from scrolling through their “for your page.”
“On the video it says, ‘Unfortunately I have to stop you from scrolling,’ and it means it because once you come across this video you cannot scroll past it,” Noah said.
He added that he had to completely close out of the app just to be able to scroll again after viewing the video and shared a screenshot of the video’s comments that saw other people having the same exact issue.
