Have you seen videos on TikTok talking about Story mode? If so, you might be wondering what Story mode is and how you record videos in this new TikTok mode. Story mode is a new TikTok recording mode that records videos at a smaller aspect ratio and allows you to record from both front and back cameras at once, similar to BeReal. Many users say Story mode videos are clearer and better quality than regular TikTok videos. In this article, we'll teach you how to use Story mode and what you can do if you're not seeing Story mode on your TikTok yet.
Things You Should Know

While this may be a technical bug, it appears like Photo mode is the same as Story mode for now.
