TikTok: How to skip through videos on iPhone and Android (2021)

You can’t really go anywhere at the moment without hearing about TikTok. The short video app has absolutely blown up in the past few years, making household names out of creators and providing millions of entertaining videos. Recently, TikTok introduced a three-minute maximum length for its videos, meaning they can be a lot longer than before. If you want to get straight to the punchline of a long video and don’t want to sit around, we’ve got you covered.  Here’s how to skip through TikTok videos on iPhone and Android.

How do I skip through TikTok videos on iPhone and Android?

To skip through TikTok videos on iPhone and Android, users will need to tap and hold the white dot seen on the white progress bar. Move that to skip through the video.

It’s worth noting that this feature only becomes available on longer videos. For the short clips, there won’t be a small progress bar to interact with.

Being able to skip through longer videos helps make scrolling through TikToks more efficient. There’s less time waiting for the big payoff at the end of a video, and more time spent scrolling to the next video.

It helps keep the laughs coming if you don’t want to sit through a long video, and means you can check to see if there’s anything of note in a three-minute TikTok. It’s also a simple trick too – the exact same format as other social media sites, like Twitter.

It’s normal to see “Don’t skip through” on some videos, where the creator wants the viewer to sit through the whole thing. Of course, it’s up to the person watching whether they skip or not.

In other news, the Halo Infinite beta launched today – and long-term fans are disappointed they didn’t get invited. A new Pokemon Unite update has also introduced Gardevoir into the game.
