The New TikTok Trend That's Helping People In Unsafe Situations

After the Skullbreaker Challenge and 'Flip the Switch', another TikTok trend is doing the rounds these days. Unlike many of its predecessors, however, this TikTok trend is one that is earning widespread praise for helping people feeling unsafe or uncomfortable during a cab ride. The TikTok trend involves people carrying out a fake conversation with someone on the other end and can be used by anyone feeling uncomfortable during a cab ride.

On Saturday, a video of TikTok user Grace Wells carrying out a conversation with a 'friend' made its way to Twitter, where it has collected nearly 5 million views. In the video, she pretends to scold the friend for not answering her phone and then says, "I have your location on and I can see you just got into the car."

"Teens on TikTok are making fake conversation videos that people can play if they're feeling unsafe in an Uber," reads the caption of the video.
