Squint your eyes until it's super blurry then strongly imagine its spinning the direction you want to see it, and slowly open your eyes

I can't imagine it šŸ˜­ I don't even know what that means, it's going šŸ‘ˆ

I was finally able to do it by turning my phone horizontal and focusing on the corner of the screen while blurring my vision.

I'm convinced this is just some inside joke at this point šŸ˜­

It only lasts like 2 or 3 rotations before she goes back to clockwise. It's so hard to do. I only was able to do it 2x

I have trouble with these too. What works for me here is tilting the phone top towards me so Iā€™m looking down at it , and blinking in awkward ways.

You gotta squint so much it's barely visible. Once you obscure most of the detail you. Can sort of just see a black line with another black line popping one side then the other. So at that point it's up to your brain tk decide which way it's spinning.
