Yesterday, the much-anticipated iPhone 17 series of mobile phones officially started sales mode, and many Apple fans lined up offline. On social platforms, many netizens posted videos showing a new Apple trick that made people laugh - using their tongues to scroll through TikTok.
It can be seen from the video posted by netizens that the user only needs to face the screen of the Apple mobile phone, without sliding the hands, and just stick out the tongue in the air, and the phone will automatically turn to the next video, as if the phone can "read" the "instructions" of the tongue.
When netizens posted these interesting videos, they also included various playful copywritings, such as "The latest version of Apple's mobile phone actually unlocks a new posture for using your tongue to scroll through TikTok", "Who hasn't caught up with the trend and scrolling through TikTok with your tongue?" "After using iPhone 17, it feels like my facial features are getting abs", which attracted more attention and discussion among netizens.
In response to this social phenomenon, some media specifically called an Apple direct store for verification.
The store staff responded that after updating the mobile phone system to the latest iOS 26, users can indeed set up the function of using their tongue to view videos in the air.
The specific setting steps are as follows:
First, click on the "Settings" option on your phone; then, enter the "Accessibility" option;
Here, you can find a "head tracking" switch. After turning it on, a "tongue sticking out" option will appear;
Click the "Tongue out" option to set the "Swipe down" operation. In this way, you can achieve the effect of "stick out your tongue to brush TikTok".
After seeing a video posted by a netizen on Douyin of using the tongue to swipe the tongue, the staff member also tried it himself. After the experience, she said with a smile: "It's really interesting, but it's a bit tongue-tied."
