# Five quick tricks inside one daily-use feature

A tech and ai format, measured November 8, 2026 by Volume. https://tryvolume.app/working/tech-and-ai/five-quick-tricks-inside-one-daily-use-feature

Bundle four or five fast gesture or settings tricks around one app or action every owner uses daily. It worked for 3 accounts, with a median of 84x their usual reach. Type: Angle. Seen as: Talking head, Voiceover.

## Why it works

Picking something universal (Messages, screenshots) means almost every viewer learns at least one new thing. Bundling beat the same accounts' single-tip posts, which got far fewer views.

## How to make it

1. Name the everyday app or feature in the hook
2. Show each trick in about 7-10 seconds
3. Escalate from basic gestures to a flashier last trick
4. Ask viewers to save the video

## Hook formula

You've been using your [everyday feature] wrong. Here are [number] tricks inside [app] that will blow your mind.

## How this is measured

- Every post is compared with its own account's usual reach, not with other accounts. "14x their usual" means the post got 14 times the median views of that account's recent posts.
- TikTok videos and Instagram Reels are measured on views. Instagram carousels have no view count, so they are measured on likes against the account's usual likes, and say so.
- A post makes the library at 2x its account's usual or more. A format is a repeatable move (what is said or shown, or how it is edited) that several accounts used in breakout posts. It is listed here once it worked for 3 or more different accounts.
- Formats rank on how many accounts they worked for and how far above usual, damped so a fluke on one tiny account cannot outrank a format that worked for ten.
