A TikTok video has pointed out the big difference between how different generations mimic answering the phone — and some people are about to realise they're officially old.
The video, which had more than two million views in just one day, shows adults mimicking answering the phone the "old way", using their thumb and their pinkie finger.
However, when asked to pretend they are answering the phone, in the same video, young children hold their full flat hand close to their ear.

The different hand gestures highlight how humans adapted to smartphones versus older phones.
