This TikTok ring will deepen your doomscrolling addiction
Make your way through enough product recommendation videos, TikTok Shop ads, and candid, seemingly normal videos that are secretly TikTok Shop ads, and you'll probably get a video of a TikTok remote ring or a general purpose scrolling ring.
For the devoted doomscroller, these rings make the process of making it through your social video feed a simple matter of pressing a button. If you're as (embarrassingly) hooked on your TikTok feed as I am, it's easy to imagine the tantalizing options remote scrolling your feed could allow for. TikTok while taking a bath, TikTok while walking on a treadmill, TikTok while making dinner, and even the delectable TikTok while lying in bed.
None of these are necessarily good for you, but as I was surprised to learn, being able to use your phone without touching the screen, and the simple built-in accessibility feature these rings use to make this possible, really is fantastic, whether you're using it to rot on the couch or keep your phone clean during lunch.

Specs, pricing and availability
There are many scrolling ring options
There are dozens of different types of these scrolling rings available for purchase online, all with more or less the same set of features and only slight variations in button layout and how comfortable they look like they'll be to wear.
I opted to review the SSOBZELR 3 in 1 Function Video Scrolling Ring and Camera Shutter Remote and Phone Holder, which is the legal name of the gadget, but you might also see it referred to as the TikTok Trending Bluetooth Smart Scrolling Ring in online stores. It's available in black, green or pink for under $19.
To make things easier, I've taken to calling it «The Scrolling Ring» during the past week I've used it. If anything, the names oversell its complexity, though.
