How to get the ‘yes or no’ filter on TikTok

TikTokers are loving a viral filter which lets you ask it a yes or no question before giving you an answer. Here’s how you can try this effect out for yourself.

Social media platform TikTok is known for its bite-sized content, as well as its wide array of filters and effects that add a fun and interactive element to video creation.

One filter that is seeing a resurgence on the app is the viral ‘yes or no’ effect, which allows you to ask any question and receive a randomized answer such as ‘yep,’ ‘nope,’ ‘idk’ (I don’t know), ‘sure,’ or ‘never.’

The engaging filter has been used in over 8.3 million posts so far. TikTokers have creatively employed it to ask a variety of questions, like whether their crush likes them back, or if their significant other is planning a proposal soon.

It’s also sparked a trend where people make decisions based on the filter’s response. For example, some users have made videos where they do their makeup, deciding each step based on the effect’s answer.
