A little inspiration from other social networks

Music
TikTok is known for its viral trends , mostly related to music. Not coincidentally, today 63% of users discover new music on TikTok before any other platform. As a result, we can already see the company taking some steps towards becoming a platform for hosting music as well.

In Brazil, India and Indonesia, TikTok users can rely on Resso , the growing streaming site launched by TikTok’s parent company. Additionally, TikTok is in talks with record labels to expand its presence in the music streaming industry on a global scale.

If everyone wants some TikTok-style content, TikTok is also taking inspiration from other social media platforms – the golden oldie “two-way street.”

For example, TikTok is copying Instagram with “Photo Mode ,” a feature that allows users to share multiple still photos, with or without music, in one post, along with captions of up to 2,200 characters, once limited to 300 characters.

Speaking of inspiration, TikTok recently launched a new jordan phone number list feature called TikTok Now , which aims to promote content in real-time. With this new launch, users are given daily prompts to share content using both the front and rear cameras. Does this sound familiar? If you thought of BeReal , you guessed right! The new app has also been a recent source of inspiration for TikTok.

With all these moves, one thing is becoming clear to us: all social media apps are starting to look the same. Not just in design, but also in functionality. But is it worth it for TikTok to start looking exactly like Instagram, once the TikTok format conquered so many hearts? Won’t it lose its essence that way? Or is it really a smart and strategic decision to have more and more of everything on one platform, to entertain its users in every possible way?

Honestly, we don't have the answer right now. It feels like a fight of giants, and we're still on the audience side, watching every move. But I can't deny that I'm excited about the possibilities for the future!

Google has just announced some changes to the way search results appear on mobile devices . But don't worry, these are small changes and don't seem to have much impact on SEO strategies!

On the other hand, the aim is to provide more clarity on the context of searches in the tool, further improving the user experience.
