TikTok’s ‘camera flip trend’ is a flipping good laugh – even celebrity users are getting views for not being able to work a phone
Perhaps inspired by the tech-illiterate amongst us, TikTok’s latest trend has users seemingly giving advice to their own demographic, before ‘accidently’ flipping the camera around to reveal themselves – and an obvious ulterior motive.
It hasn’t taken long for people to get creative with the trend, recruiting their pets, using camera tricks and donning disguises to make the coveted ‘for you page’ (fyp).
