TikTok Introduces Instagram Rival, TikTok Notes, in Select Markets
TikTok, the popular video-sharing platform, has launched its new app, TikTok Notes, in Canada and Australia. The app, which is now available on both the Google Play Store and Apple App Store, aims to provide users with a dedicated space for sharing photo and text content.
Early Stage Rollout
According to TikTok’s announcement on X, the company is currently in the early stages of rolling out TikTok Notes. The app is designed to complement the existing TikTok experience by offering a platform for users to share their moments through photo posts.
We hope that the TikTok community will use TikTok Notes to continue sharing their moments through photo posts. Whether documenting adventures, expressing creativity, or simply sharing snapshots of one’s day, the TikTok Notes experience is designed for those who would like to share and engage through photo content.
Limited Details on Features and Functionality
While TikTok has not provided extensive information about the app’s features and functionality, it has confirmed that users can log in using their existing TikTok account. The app’s description on the app stores is also relatively brief, describing TikTok Notes as a lifestyle platform for sharing informative photo-text content about people’s lives, such as travel tips and daily recipes.
App Store Screenshots Reveal Post Layout
Based on the screenshots available on the App Store listing, TikTok Notes will display posts in a two-column grid format on the home page. Additionally, users will have the option to create carousel posts featuring multiple photos.
Competing with Meta’s Apps
Although TikTok already allows users to create image and text posts within its main app, the company’s decision to create a separate space for this type of content is seen as a move to compete with Meta’s apps, such as Instagram and Threads. The launch of TikTok Notes follows recent reports by The Zero Byte, which suggested that TikTok’s Instagram competitor would likely be named TikTok Notes.
As TikTok continues to expand its offerings and venture into new content formats, it will be interesting to see how TikTok Notes performs in the selected markets and whether the app will be rolled out to additional regions in the future.
