TikTok is not just a place to watch viral dances and lip-syncs anymore. The popular video-sharing app has announced that it is testing a new feature that will allow users to stream music directly from the app. The feature, called TikTok Music, is currently available in Brazil and Indonesia, two of the largest markets for the app.
TikTok Music is similar to other music streaming services like Spotify and Apple Music, but with a twist. Users can create their own playlists, browse curated ones, and discover new songs based on their preferences. But unlike other services, TikTok Music also lets users see which songs are trending on TikTok, and easily create videos using those songs. Users can also share their playlists with their friends and followers on TikTok, and see what they are listening to.
TikTok Music is part of TikTok’s strategy to expand its offerings beyond short-form videos. The app has already launched features like TikTok Live, which lets users broadcast live streams, and TikTok Stories, which lets users post ephemeral photos and videos. TikTok Music is another way for the app to engage its users and attract new ones.
TikTok has not revealed when TikTok Music will be available in other countries, or how much it will cost. For now, users in Brazil and Indonesia can enjoy the new feature for free, as long as they have a TikTok account. So if you are a music lover and a TikTok fan, you might want to check out TikTok Music and see what it has to offer.
