TikTok reportedly working on new app to compete with Instagram’s photo feed

Tiktok is apparently working on a competitor site that will challenge Instagram head on. According to a new post that was published by 9to5mac.

TikTok is already an Instagram competitor when it comes to videos. However, while TikTok is a video-first social network, Instagram still lets users post photos in their feed and share 24-hour Stories. Now it seems that TikTok has been working on a new app to compete with Instagram’s photo feed.

TikTok working on a new Photos app​

As reported by TheSpAndroid(via Matt Navarra), code found in the latest version of the TikTok app includes multiple references to a new “TikTok Photos” app. Based on the strings seen by the website, this new app seems to be very similar to Instagram, with a feed where users can share photos with their friends and family.

The strings found by TheSpAndroid invite users to try out the new TikTok Photos app. It also suggests that users will be able to share content from the main TikTok app to the Photos app. Another string describes the app as a place to reach “other like-minded people who enjoy photo posts.”

There are no details on when and where TikTok Photos will be released, but everything suggests that an official announcement should happen very soon. This comes after multiple creators complained about Instagram focusing more on video and losing its main essence, which is to be a place to share photos.

If true, TikTok could benefit from its strong presence in the short video segment to launch its new photo app.

They launched the website for it, but the app isn’t ready yet. Apparently they’re going with “Tiktok Notes” for the name.
