Frequent users of TikTok will know that just about every week there’s a new trend that sweeps the platform and has thousands of users participating with their own videos.
Popular trends have included the ‘Emotional Damage’ sound, Doe Eyes vs Siren Eyes, and the Pen in Cup challenge, but that’s not even scratching the surface of how many viral trends there are on the platform.
One that is seeing a resurgence in popularity after emerging in the latter half of 2021, is ‘The Photo’ trend.
While its name doesn’t give much away, the challenge involves users showing off their favorite pictures of themselves. Someone’s ‘The Photo’ refers to a sole image of them that they love, although some people end up selecting multiple.
