This documentary style feature follows stories from past TikTok users Harpreet Dhariwal, Kieron Steer and myself. It discusses our personal journeys on the app and what led us to delete it. The piece opens with a real recording of myself scrolling through the app and montages of new reports. The feature includes an interview with psychologist Cary Cooper to give insight into the psychological effects TikTok has on its users and the ways in which it can be detrimental to mental health and romantic relationships.
