TikTok tries a new “Video Auto-Rotate” tool. This tool fixes videos playing sideways. People often film videos vertically on their phones. But sometimes, these videos show sideways when people watch them. This makes viewing hard. The new tool tries to stop this problem.

TikTok uses the phone’s sensors. The sensors know how the phone is held. The tool then makes the video show upright. It does this automatically. Viewers should not need to turn their phones. The video should look right straight away.
TikTok says this helps people watch videos better. The goal is a smoother experience. Nobody likes tilting their head or rotating their device. This tool should prevent that frustration. It makes watching simpler.
Right now, only a few TikTok users can try this feature. TikTok is testing it with a small group. This testing helps TikTok find problems. They can fix things before everyone gets the tool. There is no set date for a full release. TikTok will decide later based on test results.

This test shows TikTok cares about small annoyances. Fixing video orientation seems minor. But it makes a real difference for daily users. Other apps might face similar issues. TikTok’s solution could influence them. The auto-rotate feature is part of bigger efforts. TikTok constantly works on app improvements. User feedback often guides these changes. Making videos play correctly is a basic need. Meeting that need better keeps users happy.
