TikTok has already established itself as a dominant force in the realm of short-form video content. Introducing a photo feed feature could potentially unsettle Facebook and Instagram, causing them to feel the pressure.
TikTok surged to popularity back in the COVID era, leaving Instagram on the defensive. Now, Instagram is still a very relevant social media platform, but that’s only after making some significant (and perhaps questionable) shifts in their focus.
For example, Instagram has been putting an emphasis on Reels and Stories lately. For a minute, it seemed like static photos seemed like a thing of the past but TikTok says otherwise.
Their latest project is a photo-focused app called TikTok Photos. This new app will look very similar to Instagram’s feed and it looks as though you will be able to link TikTok to TikTok Photos and post back and forth from each one.
As of now, there are no other details on when it will be released and what it will entail, but the main concern we have now is will TikTok get banned in the US? Let us know and continue this conversation on X.
