TikTok Prepares to Launch 'TikTok Photos' Amidst Potential US Ban

ByteDance's new photo-sharing app aims to rival Instagram, leveraging TikTok's vast user base for cross-platform engagement.

ByteDance is reportedly developing 'TikTok Photos', a new app dedicated to photo sharing, aiming to compete with Instagram.
The app's launch appears imminent, with references found in TikTok's code and a potential logo leaked, despite no official announcement.
TikTok encourages users to sync their public photos to the new app, suggesting seamless integration between TikTok and TikTok Photos.
The development comes as TikTok faces a potential US ban, with bipartisan legislation and President Biden's support threatening its operation.
Critics question the need for another social media platform, while others hope TikTok Photos will recapture the essence of early Instagram.
