Remote controllers have gotten smaller and smaller over time, but the latest version is pretty baffling. Now, you can control devices in your hand with something on a single finger. The TikTok remote ring is sending the internet into a frenzy, with everyone trying to get their finger on one (or one on their finger!) But how does the remote work, what does it control and where can you buy one?
Rings have always been seen as symbols. Most commonly, they’re a sign of marriage. They can also be symbols of possession, power and Lord of the Ring superfans. Now, it’s a symbol of just how small technology can get. Long gone are the days of hefty remote controls that have to be pointed in an exact way to turn the telly on. Oh no, now the power isn’t even in our hands — it’s our fingers.
What Is The TikTok Remote Control Ring?
The ring is actually a little remote control that is wearable on a single finger. The viral remote has three buttons on it that let you go up/down, adjust the volume and more.
The TikTok remote control comes in lots of different colours so you can get one that really appeals to you. Or, you could get one in a loved one’s favourite colour and gift the ring for Valentine’s Day. It will definitely be less expensive than a diamond and a lot more useful!
The fact that it’s wearable means you are much less likely to lose it compared to other remotes. As long as you keep the TikTok remote ring on your finger then you’re not going to lose it down the back of the sofa.
What Does The Ring Control?
The ring is designed to control your TikTok feed. It completely revolutionized using the app hands-free! You can use it in the bath without the risk of dropping your phone in the bath. In bed, you can keep your phone on your bedside table and comfortably watch your favourite TikToks without having to awkwardly hold your phone.
Whatever other way you can think that you need to scroll but hands-free, you can now do.
It’s always really annoying when you put you’re watching TikToks when you’re getting ready and it keeps playing the same video. Now, you can carry on scrolling without having to touch your phone.
With the TikTok remote ring’s three buttons, you can scroll through your For You page, go back to previous videos and even like the video. It’s essentially like having a spare hand!
How Does The TikTok Remote Ring Work?
The TikTok remote control ring works through Bluetooth, connecting to your phone.
Just like wireless headphones or a smartwatch connects to your phone, the ring has to be connected for it to control your TikTok feed.
To get the remote control ring working, simply go to your Bluetooth settings on your phone. Use one of the buttons to pair it with your phone and you’re good to go! It even comes in a compact case for safekeeping whilst you’re not using it.
Once it’s connected, you can adjust the volume of your TikToks too, just in case there’s some tea you didn’t quite catch.
Where To Buy The Bluetooth Ring Remote
The TikTok ring is widely sold on Amazon in lots of different colours. It’s as cheap as just over £7 in the UK. However, the fancier ones with the case cost upwards of £15.
In the US, the remote control ring will cost you about $20 from Amazon, but that is the version with the case.
There are lots of different versions of the ring all over TikTok. Clearly, it’s something that lots of people are after. With Valentine’s Day coming up, perhaps it’s a gift for the TikTok-obsessed person in your life. Whether it’s for a gal pal or a girlfriend, they’re sure to appreciate scrolling through TikTok hands-free.
