When TikTok users see a new creative effect, they imagine all the ways in which that effect can be used. Their creativity to go beyond what is expected can turn a simple feature into a top trend. That's how the viral "Hand Gestures" trend started. Using this effect, users create impossible scenes where they play multiple subjects interacting with each other. Using timing, imagination, and a heaping dose of patience, they have elevated reinvented the purpose of an old effect.

The hand gesture feature can be used to make a simple photo montage
