TikTok is working on a new network to compete with Instagram so that users can share photos, its name is: TikTok Photos. This challenge is quite ambitious on the part of the Chinese application, considering that Instagram has more than 1.650 billion active users around the world.
¿How TikTok Photos will work? Well, the information is not very clear at all because what is known is through a leak of lines of code found in the latest TikTok update. Let's look in more detail at the information we currently have and what this will mean for Instagram.
Instagram has a new competitor: TikTok Photos
TikTok has set itself a real challenge and that has been to compete with Instagram through a new application called TikTok Photos. Let's find out more details about what this new social network will be like and if it will really be a competitor to Instagram.
This app will work independently of the main app and what is known about it has been through a few lines of code that have been leaked in the latest update of the app. In it you can see some references about an app called «Open TikTok Photos«. Also, other buttons or links that refer to sharing photos, publications, messages of success when publishing a post, among others.
Although it is possible to share multiple photographs on TikTok, the essence of these lines does not seem to be focused on the original app. On the contrary, They refer to a kind of new social network dedicated to sharing photos and posts.. In addition, you can see a suggestion where the user can "synchronize their photos with the main app."
This raises some questions about whether it can be used if you don't have a TikTok account? or it will work like Threads that originally required it and even It could not be deleted without altering the main Instagram account. At the moment, the function appears to be optional by activating a custom setting by the user themselves. Finally, you can see the incorporation of an icon represented by the application logo which contains the same TikTok colors.
When will your TikTok Photos launch?
TikTok has not commented on these leaks, so We do not know when the official launch of TikTok Photos will be. For now, we must make do with this leaked information, but it seems it may be sooner rather than later.
Regarding the process to be followed by TikTok, it will surely start in the beta user program and will be done first on iOS or Android, and then it will be launched to the other operating system. What do you think of this possible new social network that will compete directly with Instagram?
