News & Reviews:   short video platform

TikTok's algorithm for the 'For You' page might not be a mystery anymore. The short video platform is releasing a new feature that explains to users why a particular video will show up on the page, bringing more transparency. 

TikTok is testing a new horizontal full-screen mode. It basically allows the videos to expand for users to watch them horizontally, which works just like the one on YouTube.

Elon Musk has big plans after acquiring Twitter recently. According to the latest report, one of them might be reviving Vine, a short-video-centric app that we had before TikTok.

Not long ago, news came saying that Instagram is working on a BeReal clone. However, it seems like TikTok has moved faster by launching its own. TikTok Now is the platform's new feature to let users post a photo or a 10-second video when prompted anywhere anytime.

To stand a place in the U.S., TikTok must give its best to prove that it's not sharing any of its user's data with the Chinese government. The latest approach seems to be the most satisfactory to show that U.S. users' data only gets stored within the country. According to the source, the company is now keeping it in an Oracle data center.

TikTok is probably one of the most addictive apps in this generation. Providing short videos curated by a genius algorithm to match your taste, who doesn't love it? However, there must be times when you tell yourself to get off the platform, but your hands just don't follow your mind. Therefore, TikTok has added some new features to help with that problem.
