Can you zoom in on TikTok?
Being able to zoom in on a video on TikTok might be one of the most loved features of the app. But how do you do it?
TikTokis constantly introducing new features to the app to respond to user concerns, such as the introduction ofan optional screen time break featurethat prevents people from scrolling for too long without realizing it.
One feature that has been widely requested is the possibility to zoom in on a video, but has TikTok listened to this request?
“Just in case you didn’t know, you can zoom in on TikToks now,” read the caption in one video with over 130,000 likes.
“What the actual hell I was like ain’t no way. Then I zoomed and it worked my jaw dropped to the floor,” another user wrote as a comment on a different video reporting the same new feature.

While many are reporting they can now zoom in to TikTok videos, others are claiming that they do not have access to the feature, with some wondering whether it’s even real.
“Am I missing an inside joke,” wrote one baffled commenter, with many others reporting that it “doesn’t work” for them. “I literally can’t tell if this is a joke,” said another.
As it turns out, there is actually a method to zoom videos, although it’s not as simple as just pinching the screen.
