What is the trend?

It can be challenging to find the amusing trend on the app because it lacks a label or a hashtag. To further stoke the nostalgia, most participants in the screenshot slideshow fad also include a clip of ‘Butterfly Fly Away’ by Miley and Billy Ray Cyrus from 'Hannah Montana: The Movie'. However, the song is listed in the app as ‘Original song’ by an unknown artist, which makes it difficult to locate.

One of the earliest examples of this particular format comes from @reese.lambert13, who shared a photo slideshow on March 19 that included two screenshots side by side. It's unknown who started the current parent text screenshot trend.
