One of the apps and social networks of the moment is TikTok because of its ability to attract us and above all to get us hooked on watching videos continuously. Despite the fact that there are many tips to get out of the app and not want to see new content, the vast majority do not work and we end up sliding the video again, however, we have found a solution that saves us a lot of time , making things easier for us than just exiting the app at the time we want.
In the origins of TikTok it was impossible to use this mechanism because it didn’t even exist. It was through updates for Android and iPhone when the TikTok option reached all mobile phones. Although we cannot see it with the naked eye, if we keep our finger pressed on the screen when we are playing a video, we will find a series of tools where the key that we are going to explain is.
Speed up TikTok videos like WhatsApp audios
The way to make TikTok not become so addictive and at the same time what allows us to save a few valuable minutes is to put the videos in 1.5x or 2x . To do this, as we have mentioned, we only have to start watching a video, whatever it is, and instead of having to wait a long time for them to tell us a story, we have the possibility of speeding it up, getting to see it and enjoy it in half the time. time.
First of all, we leave our finger on the screen, when the options window is displayed, we only have to touch the icon where we can read ‘Playback speed’ and choose our preference.
This is not recommended for all videos, since if we want to understand it well and not miss even the smallest detail, we will have to limit ourselves to watching it at normal speed or at most 1.5. However, there are situations in which we don’t have time to lose and instead of regretting having watched a boring video for too long, it’s preferable to watch it at full speed. As in other cases, we can lower the speed to 0.5x mode to see it thoroughly.
The big drawback of this function
Despite the fact that this TikTok trick is a great discovery and will undoubtedly mark a before and after in those videos that start to get too long, we must know that it has an aspect that can be improved and it is none other than that we have to activate it continuously . Unfortunately, the speed is not maintained when moving from one video to another. The app shows us more and more long-lasting videos, in true YouTube style, and that takes up a lot of time.
It is true that at 1.5x speed what people say is understandable, but in some situations or even if we want to read the subtitles, we may have problems. We miss the possibility of choosing intermediate speeds such as 1.25x. We trust that little by little this and other improvements will reach the app so that we can take advantage of it in the best way and, incidentally, we will save ourselves from spending too much time on social networks.
