Tilt to scroll
Scroll Feed: hands-free scrolling for iPhone and iPad
Scroll Feed is a free iPhone and iPad app that scrolls TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts and Facebook Reels when you tilt your head. The feeds open inside the app. Look up for the next video, look down to go back.
Get Scroll Feed on the App StoreGet it on the App StoreHow it works
Set it up once, then scroll with small movements of your head.
- STEP 1
Pick a feed
Choose one of seven feeds on the home screen. It opens that platform's mobile site inside Scroll Feed.
- STEP 2
Prop up your device
Stand your iPhone or iPad in front of you. A guided three-step setup checks the angle and finds your face. Upright, slouched or lying down all work.

Your camera stays on your device
Scroll Feed uses the front camera only to find your face and measure the tilt of your head.
- Face tracking runs on your iPhone or iPad with Google ML Kit.
- Each camera frame is discarded as soon as it's processed. No image, video or face data is recorded, stored or sent.
- Usage statistics and ads contain no camera data. The app uses Firebase Analytics and shows banner ads; neither includes camera, face or motion data.
Scroll Feed or a built-in option?
TikTok and Instagram have their own auto scroll, and iOS 26 added Head Tracking. Here is how they differ.
| Option | Scroll Feed | TikTok auto scroll | Instagram Auto-scroll | iOS 26 Head Tracking |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| How it moves | You tilt your head: up for next, down for back | The feed advances on its own | Moves on when a Reel ends | Your head moves a pointer; facial expressions trigger actions |
| Go back hands-free | Yes, look down | No | No | Depends on the actions you assign |
| Where it works | 7 feeds on TikTok, Instagram, YouTube and Facebook | TikTok app | Instagram app | Any app |
| What you need | iPhone or iPad with iOS or iPadOS 15.6 or later | An account that has the option | An account that has the option; rolling out gradually | iOS 26 or iPadOS 26 or later, and some setup |
Steps and limits for each option are in the guides below.
