TikTok is experimenting with a Stories feature within the app, similar to Stories on other social media platforms.
What are TikTok Stories and how do they work? | New feature to compete with Instagram
Social media consultant Matt Navarra was the first to spot the new stories feature, sharing it on his Twitter page on Wednesday. TikTok has since confirmed to The Verge that the feature, known as "TikTok Stories," is in the works.
TikTok said the Stories feature will appear in a brand new sidebar. Like Snapchat, Instagram and other platforms, TikTok's Stories will only last for 24 hours before being deleted.
TikTok Stories will also have similar features to other platforms, such as the ability to react or comment on a story and go directly to a user’s profile from their story. Additionally, The Verge reports that users will be able to add captions, music, and text to their stories.
