TikTok has become an integral part of our daily lives as a social media platform for entertainment, information, and knowledge. When you open the TikTok app on your mobile, you are exposed to a plethora of musical content that might not always be suitable for public places or situations where silence is required. To address this, TikTok introduced the “playback mute” feature.
Here’s how to use TikTok’s playback mute feature:
- First, open the TikTok app on your device.
- Then, tap on the profile icon located at the bottom right.
- After that, tap on the three horizontal lines (hamburger menu) at the top right.
- Scroll down and go to the “Settings and Privacy” option.
- Now, in the “Content and Display” section, look for the “Playback” option.
- Toggle the switch for “Open TikTok with sound” to turn it off.
By following these steps, the TikTok app will now open with the sound muted, and the first video you see will not have any sound playing automatically. This way, you can avoid any awkward or disruptive situations caused by sudden audio playback.
