News & Reviews:   TikTok app

Previously, we shared how the Communications Ministry and the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) held a meeting with Meta and TikTok today. Well, Communications Minister Fahmi Fadzil has announced the result of the meeting, which has resulted in both companies pledging commitment to address online safety and monitoring criminal-related content on their platforms.

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.

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.

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.
