Of all the curious internet rabbit holes I ve fallen down over the past few months, tap to tidy has to be the most oddly satisfying. If you re not familiar, it s when someone posts a picture of a messy space on their Instagram stories and, as you tap and advance to the next story, you get a shot of the same space, taken at the exact same angle, but this time magically tidied up.
The trend was popularised by reality-TV star and Loose Women presenter Stacey Solomon, and has become so beloved among her four million-plus followers that she has written a book titled, aptly, Tap To Tidy.
