TikTok is rife with features and tools, granting both creators and viewers a multitude of different options when posting, watching, and engaging with TikTok content.

One of the latest and most innovative features to arrive on TikTok is ‘clear mode’ – but what is it and what difference does it make for TikTok users?

To put it simply, clear mode is a way of watching TikTok videos without all the buttons and icons running down the side of the screen.

## 3 Steps to Access Clear Mode

- When you’ve got a TikTok video open on your screen, press and hold the screen
- Select ‘Clear Mode’ from the pop up menu
- And voila! Your screen is now in clear mode. You can reverse this by select the circle icon with the X inside in the bottom right hand corner of your screen

## Why Use TikTok Clear Mode

The benefits of TikTok’s Clear Mode include a more streamlined user experience and a clutter free screen – not to mention it often makes it much easier to read the text that pops up during a TikTok video.

It is worth noting that Clear Mode will only remain active for the video that you are watching at the time and is not a lasting setting that sticks across every TikTok you watch. As such, you will need to activate the feature each time you want to watch a video in Clear Mode.

We hope this article helps to streamline and improve your experience across the TikTok app.
