The Auto-Scroll feature on TixTok is designed to automatically and continuously scroll through videos in the app. But it doesn't always appear and doesn't always work as intended... For whatever reason, TikTok does not consistently provide a permanent Auto Scroll toggle across all accounts. What some people see in screenshots or older tutorials may come from limited tests, accessibility experiments, or region-specific rollouts. So follow along as this guide explains how Auto Scroll works in TikTok and how you can try to get it back in your app version.

Takeaways:

  1. Where's the Auto-Scroll feature on TikTok?
  2. Has the Auto-Scroll feature been removed from TikTok?

How to Fix TikTok Auto Scroll Option Not Showing

Many guides still point users to an Auto Scroll toggle inside Accessibility settings. TikTok’s current accessibility tools focus more on viewing support features than on a universal auto-scrolling switch.

  • Open TikTok
  • Go to Profile
  • Open Menu
  • Select Settings and Privacy
  • Tap Accessibility

Inside this menu, check all available options carefully. Depending on your account, you may see features related to display, text size, or navigation support, but not a dedicated Auto Scroll control. If you do not see Auto Scroll, it does not automatically mean there is an error. It usually means the feature is not enabled for your account or has been replaced by something else.

Use TikTok Feed Navigation Instead

TikTok does offer navigation support tied to system-level accessibility tools such as VoiceOver on iPhone and TalkBack on Android. These tools allow navigation through content and may include feed navigation buttons inside TikTok.

  • On iPhone, enable VoiceOver in the device Accessibility settings
  • On Android, enable TalkBack in Accessibility settings

Then go back to TikTok and check the accessibility menu again:

  • Go to Settings and Privacy
  • Open Accessibility
  • Look for Feed navigation buttons and enable them if available

These controls are designed for assisted movement through content rather than continuous automatic scrolling. They aren't quite as effective, but they are better than nothing.

If the Feed navigation buttons are missing:

  • Open a video in full screen mode
  • Try again while VoiceOver or TalkBack is enabled
  • Restart TikTok after enabling accessibility services

Most of the time, the feature only becomes available when system-level accessibility services are active.

Check if It Is an Account Rollout Issue

Just like nearly every other platform on the Internet, TikTok often releases features gradually. This means one account may have access to a feature while another does not, even on the same phone.

  • Log in to a different TikTok account on the same device
  • Check Settings and Privacy> Accessibility again. Look for any differences in available options

If another account has the Auto Scroll style feature and yours does not, the issue is likely tied to account-level rollout rather than your device or app installation.

Update TikTok

This won't always give you access to the latest features, since they are almost always in some kind of regional rollout, but it will make sure that if a feature has been rolled out to your region, you will have access to it. Most devices will automatically update apps, but if you aren't sure, you can check and manually force an update.
