Have you experienced being caught off guard by the sound of the first video when opening TikTok? No need to worry! TikTok offers a feature that allows users to open the app and have the videos play without sound.
Opening the TikTok app is always a surprise. You might come across a calming ASMR video or witness someone participating in a popular trend with a loud soundtrack.
To avoid surprising users with sudden audio, TikTok implemented a feature in 2023 that enables them to initially open the app on mute and later adjust the volume as desired.
This feature is perfect for scrolling through the platform while in the presence of sleeping individuals or when you prefer to keep your viewing habits private. But how does one go about utilizing this new function?
How to Mute TikTok When Opening the App
To have your TikTok videos play on mute from the start, follow these steps:
- Open TikTok
- Go to your profile
- Click the three lines on the top right corner
- Click on the “Settings and Privacy” button
- Scroll down to Content and Display and tap the Playback button
- Turn on the alternative that says “Open TikTok on Mute”
Unmuting TikTok
If you have activated the mute setting on TikTok, simply tap the screen to unmute a video.
