TikTok plans to copy the feature that SnapChat made popular a long time ago and then Instagram stole, so it has been developing a feature for several months that allows users to create 60-second content with 24-hour validity.
“We are always thinking of new ways to bring value to our community and enrich the TikTok experience,” the spokesperson wrote last year. “We are currently experimenting with ways to give creators additional formats to bring their creative ideas to life for the TikTok community.”
However, since August when the news was released, no more was heard about TikTok’s progress with this feature, until today.
According to leaks, the TikTok stories will be called “Quick” and will be integrated into the platform’s feed (For You).
Technology specialist Matt Navarra posted on Twitter leaked information about TikTok’s progress regarding its stories.
– TikTok Stories now appear in the FYP feed instead of the stories sidebar
– Now you can see the stories of anyone, not just the people you follow.
– Creating a new story is now done through the ‘+’ button instead of through the sidebar
– New story creation mode is called ‘Quick’
– Multi-part stories are seen on your FYP by tapping the video
– Stories are highlighted on your FYP with a blue ‘Stories’ tag
TikTok is taking its time to launch this feature within its platform. After the failure of Twitter Fleets and LinkedIn stories, BigTechs are rethinking the execution of this successful format.
