Where the train trend came from
What is the phone on train trend?
The phone on train trend is the one where someone sticks their phone to the outside of a train window, sings to it from the platform while it films them, then runs after the train as it leaves with the phone. The caption is usually "Anyone seen a phone stuck to the train recently?", and the sound is often Dua Lipa's "Training Season". Here you post yours without a real train taking a real phone.
Video template
The short answer: one photo in, and a 12-second, 9:16 phone on train trend video comes back of the person in it (or the two people in it) sticking the phone to the window, singing to it and chasing the train in the take you picked, usually within a few minutes. One 720p clip is $4.99, three are $9.99 and five are $14.99, each paid once: no subscription, and credits you don't use never expire.
If the clip fails to render, the credits go back to you. Done with the train? The other trend videos on the site take the same photo.

Where your photo goes on the platform
Seedance 2 Mini puts the person, or the two people, in your photo on the platform; the template brings the station, the outfit and the stick, sing and chase. A whole stick-sing-sprint take costs 925 credits, which is the $4.99 single clip, charged once.

vertical, for TikTok and Reels
Stick it on
The phone goes flat on the outside of the window, camera facing the platform.
Sing to it
Doors still open, you perform to your own phone like it is the front row.
Chase it
The train moves and you run beside the window, laughing, until it wins.
The phone's view
The last shot is what the phone saw: the tunnel, the city, or the Eiffel Tower lit up at night.
How to do it
How to do the phone on train trend in three steps
From one photo on your phone to a phone on train trend clip you can post tonight, without going near a platform edge.
1
Pick a platform, or keep your own look
The default keeps your outfit and puts you on a subway platform. Tap the sprint, the tram, the Eiffel Tower ride or the hoodie walk for that exact take.
2
Add one photo, head to toe if you have it
Face clear and toward the camera. A full-length photo gives the sprint something to work from; a waist-up selfie works too. Two people in the photo means two of you on the tram take.
3
Make it, then post it with your sound
The clip comes back with a backing track. Put "Training Season" on it in TikTok or Reels, and the caption everyone uses, before you post.
Who to put in it
Whose photo makes the best phone on train trend clip
The phone on train trend lands hardest on the person who would never tape a phone to a train.
You and your sister
One photo of the two of you and the tram take is yours: the gowns, the dance on the pavement, the phone riding off.
Whoever is going to Paris
The metro take ends on the Eiffel Tower at night. Send it to the friend with the trip booked, starring them.
The calmest person you know
No sprint for them. Their photo in the hoodie take: phone on the window, a small wave, a slow walk the other way.
Answers
Phone on train trend questions, answered
What people ask about the caption, the song and the stuck phone.
"Anyone seen a phone stuck to the train recently?" is the caption of the phone on train trend, not a lost-and-found post. The person who wrote it stuck the phone there on purpose, sang to it from the platform and ran after the train. Here you get your own 12-second take of it from one photo.
The phone on train trend is a short video where you stick your phone to a train window, perform to it while the doors are open, then chase the train as it leaves. The phone films the whole thing, including the ride away.
Training Season is trending again because Dua Lipa's song became a favourite sound for the phone on train videos, sung on the platform before the run. Your clip comes with its own backing track, and you can put "Training Season" on it in TikTok or Reels.
For a real lost phone, call the train operator's lost property office first. For the trend, nothing goes missing here: the phone on the window is part of the template, and yours stays in your pocket while the AI does the running.
You don't need tape or a phone holder: the phone sticking to the window is already in each template, so all you add is one photo. If you do film it for real, metro operators have warned creators against the stunt.
