Recreating this trend is simple as long as your app has the feature available, but unfortunately, many users have reported that they are unable to do it.

If you have access to the feature, here’s how to do the photo swipe trend:

1. Open TikTok.
2. Click on the plus button to open the camera.
3. In the bottom right corner click on ‘Uploads.’

5. Click ‘Switch to photo mode’ if it’s not on photo mode already.
6. Select the sound bar from the top of the screen to pick a background song.
7. Click the text button in the top right corner to type out song lyrics or captions for each photo.
8. Tap ‘Next’ and post as you normally would.

People are using this trend to show all kinds of different pictures, whether that’s snaps from their lives, or popular memes.
