To make the train trend video with AI, open the Train Trend on vswp, add one photo of the person who takes the place of the man on the platform and start. Nothing to film, no phone to tape, no train to chase: the 28-second clip is already on vswp with him found, and the station, the camera on the train, the other people and the sound stay as in the original. You can try a free preview first, and the MP4 is usually ready in minutes.
What is the train trend?
The train trend, also called the phone on train trend or the subway iPhone tape trend, is the subway video where a phone rides off on a train and its owner chases it. In the vswp clip, a young man in a black T-shirt and wired earphones sings to the camera on a subway platform; the train's sign reads "46 St". At about 7 seconds he presses his phone against the window of the departing train. From 8.2 seconds the camera rides away with the train, filming him singing, then running after it along the platform until he falls behind at about 23 seconds. The last seconds show the empty platform.
The vertical clip runs 27.8 seconds in three shots, with cuts at about 8.2 and 26.6 seconds; the sound is the creator's "original sound". The original is a TikTok video by @onlygainstv from September 8, 2026, captioned "subway iphone tape trend".
The stunt behind this trending subway train video spread in August and September 2026, with news reports from India and a Delhi Metro warning against filming this way. Taping a phone to a real train or running beside one is dangerous; with vswp you get the shot without doing either.
Who should do the train trend?
- The friend glued to their phone. Watch them chase it down the platform.
- The friend who's always late. For once they run for the train, and the train still wins.
- The friend who sings everywhere. Earphones in, a song to the camera, then a sprint.
- You, nowhere near a train. No tape, no running: the station and the chase are already in the clip.
Whoever it is, ask first. The trend has one person to replace; for several friends in one video, pick a group trend from the trends list.
How do you make your own version?
- Ask first. Use your photo or a friend's, with their OK: by starting a video, you confirm you have the right to use it.
- Open the trend. Go to the Train Trend page.
- Sign in with Telegram. No password needed.
- Add the photo to his card. He's the one person replaced: the station, the camera on the train, the other people and the sound stay.
- Try the free preview. Press "Make the free preview" to see about 5 seconds, at 480p with a small "vswp.app" mark.
- Make the full video. Pick 480p or 720p, check the price in Telegram Stars, shown before you start, and press "Create the full video". If it fails or you cancel it, the Stars come back.
- Download the MP4. It's a 28-second video with the original sound, ready for TikTok, Reels and Shorts. Tips for posting are in how to post an AI video on TikTok, Reels and Shorts.
Which photo works best?
Here the photo replaces the whole person: the face, hair, build and clothes come from it, while his singing, the run and the camera stay.
- Full body, one person. He's seen close up while singing and full length while running, so a sharp full-length photo of one person in the clothes you want works best, carrying the face, build and outfit together.
- A clear face. The singing is filmed close, so use a sharp, well-lit photo with nothing over the face.
- Everyday clothes and shoes. The outfit comes from the photo, and the run shows the body from the side, so normal clothes and shoes look most natural.
- Nothing else to bring. No phone to tape, nothing to film, no running on a real platform.
More tips are in which photos work best for an AI video swap.
What can go wrong, and how do you fix it?
- The run. Fast motion is hard for any AI video. If legs, arms or clothes look odd while he runs, make another take.
- The phone at the window. Hands are tricky for AI too: if his hand or the phone looks blurry at about 7 seconds, another take usually helps.
- The face doesn't look like them. The face is close to the camera while he sings, so a soft or dark photo shows. Try a sharper, brighter, front-facing one.
How much does it cost?
Every new user gets one free preview: about 5 seconds of the clip at 480p with a small "vswp.app" mark. The full video is paid in Telegram Stars through the bot @vswpapp_bot. The price depends on length and quality and is shown before you start, and if a render fails or you cancel it, the Stars come back automatically.
