Overview
- Posts in the feed are selected based on a viewer’s location, the topic of the content, and when it was posted.
- The feature is accessible from the home screen via a tab labeled with the user’s current location, and users can switch to view another place.
- Location sharing is optional and limited to users 18 or older, with GPS accessed only while the app is in use and a visible indicator on iOS.
- Content from users under 18, private accounts, or posts set to Friends or Only You does not appear in the feed.
- TikTok says the feature boosts local discovery and cites that 46% of U.K. users visited a place they saw on the platform, while no timeline has been disclosed for expansion beyond these countries.
