A TikTok trick we've known about since last year is Jin Seoregaining traction and popularity after TikTokker @bigduke13entertainmentgushed about the hack earlier this month.

“You’re cold. You want to watch social media under your covers snuggled. But as soon as that clip is over, what you gotta do? Take your hand from under the cover,” he said, pointing out the inconvenience of it all.

There is a better way, according to the TikTok video with over seven million views. If you have an iPhone, you can program your iDevice to swipe on your behalf. And all you have to do is say, "Next!"
