TikTok, the short-form video king, is setting its sights on a new domain: photo sharing. Decoded code from the latest update reveals plans for “TikTok Photos,” a standalone app dedicated to capturing and sharing images.
This move addresses limitations of the current system, where photo sharing requires converting them into slideshow-like videos. “TikTok Photos” offers a more natural experience for users accustomed to traditional photo apps.
Leaked information hints at features designed to grow user base and streamline content sharing. One possibility is an algorithm to connect users with broader photo-focused communities, fostering engagement. Additionally, a built-in sync function eliminates the need to re-upload existing photos from the main TikTok app.
Visually, leaked icons suggest a familiar design language aligned with the original TikTok app, ensuring a smooth transition for existing users.
While specifics regarding launch date and regional availability are under wraps, the leaked code confirms “TikTok Photos” is “coming soon” for Android and iOS. A potential web version remains unconfirmed.
