Though it’s been around for a little while, it’s so entertaining that it’s stuck around. You’re used to telling your BFFs your deepest secrets, but now it’s time to be not-so-sweet. We explain the TikTok tap out challenge that might end your friendship.
There are all sorts of wholesome trends and edits on TikTok to show off how much your friends mean to you. Only recently we’ve had the TikTok name list and before that, we had the sweet meaning behind a green, blue and pink person on the app.
However, this one isn’t quite that. In fact, it might be the ultimate friendship test.
What Is The TikTok Tap Out Challenge?
The tap out challenge involves two friends trying to outdo one another by offending each other one at a time by using facts about their life.
Still confused? Don’t worry, we’ll break it down a little more.
The trend involves two friends texting one another, taking turns to bring up aspects of the other’s life in a hurtful way. Typically, the messages start with ‘How does it feel’ or ‘Imagine.’
Here are a couple of examples:
‘How does it feel knowing your ex got back with his old girlfriend after dumping you,’ or, ‘Imagine thinking that you were dad’s favourite.’
Neither person actually replies to what was said to them. Instead, you throw another insult back at them.
Eventually, you get more and more brutal, until one has to ‘tap out’ because it’s too much. This is why it’s the ultimate friendship test, finding the breaking point in the relationship.
The Challenge Is Still Going Viral
The challenge has been around for a little while, but clearly, people still want to test their friendships and find the ultimate winner.
The hashtag for the tap out challenge has almost 12 million views on the social media app, with hundreds, if not thousands, of videos attached to it.
It first became really popular early in 2022, but now it’s back as more users find the trend and want to try it out. Just be warned, you might need to find new friends afterwards.
