News & Reviews:   TikTok Malaysia

TikTok has announced that a new feature is coming to the platform which it has been testing since earlier this year. Rolling out globally starting today, users can now downvote comments on the app.

The world’s most popular video platform, TikTok is currently testing out a new feature on its app that introduces another feed for users to browse content on. Called ‘Nearby’, the feed will (as the name would suggest) show content that’s trending near the user and promote local creators. 

TikTok has quietly rolled out a referral rewards programme in Malaysia which allows users to earn up to RM650 by just inviting others to use the app. The programme itself has been available in other countries for a while now and based on reports, it has finally entered our country on 22 July 2022. 

World’s most popular video platform, TikTok today announced a new feature which allows for its top creators to charge subscription fees to viewers. Called LIVE Subscription, the new feature will be introduced this week.

TikTok yesterday announced the launch of TikTok Pulse, a new advertising programme that will allow the platform’s top creators to earn substantially more than its current monetisation programme. Pulse will allow advertisers to buy inventory in the top 4 percent of all videos in 12 different categories on TikTok, which will directly benefit creators.

Yes, the TikTok Shop is real and it's actually available in the Malaysian market (since early March 2022, according to its FB page). Like any social platform, TikTok Malaysia invites all local businesses including online sellers, buyers, creators and Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) under one roof for an online shopping experience. Read on below to see how this works.

TikTok is currently testing a ‘dislike’ feature in its comments section so as to make users feel ‘more in control’. In a recent blogpost, the massively popular app revealed that it has started testing a way to let individuals identify comments they believe as irrelevant or inappropriate.

Have you ever got a video stuck in your head but you can’t seem to find it anywhere online? Well, that’s where a watch history in a video-sharing or streaming app comes in handy.

Unfortunately, that feature is actually missing from the world’s most popular website and one of the most popular apps in the world, TikTok. However, this may change soon as the popular app is reportedly testing a new feature that allows for just that.

It seems that TikTok is set to launch its e-commerce unit, TikTok Shop in Malaysia soon as the company is already actively recruiting local e-commerce talents and business operators in our country. Integrated seamlessly with the TikTok app, TikTok Shop allows sellers to easily list products up for sale and buyers to purchase them without even leaving the TikTok app.

According to sources, TikTok was down for nearly 2 hours and the users had lost their followers, following views, and likes. At the same time, the company does address the fact that the app has been down on Twitter.
