Despite the unpleasant experience of having an embarrassing photo go viral, TikTok’s ‘did you delete that photo of me’ trend allows users to make light of the situation by sharing humorous pictures of themselves.
It is highly probable that everyone has awkward photos tucked away in their camera roll, whether it’s a close-up selfie, a candid shot, or a snapshot from a phase in life that they would rather forget.
While some may not want to share certain photos of themselves, the recent TikTok trend of ‘did you delete that photo of me’ is encouraging users to reveal their silly pictures that would have otherwise remained hidden.
The trend of ‘did you delete that photo of me’, which originated in May, involves TikTokers using a green screen to share a humiliating photo of themselves.
Next, they use their photo to create a comical dancing video, further teasing themselves and their silly appearance in the picture.
Saritadaisy, a popular TikToker, joined in on the trend by using her own embarrassing photo. She then incorporated the photo into a dancing video using a green screen overlay, playfully poking fun at herself.
