TikTok is reportedly working on a new app, "TikTok Photos," to enter the photo-sharing market dominated by Instagram. The aim of introducing the new app is to connect users through images, using TikTok's vast community and encouraging broader audience engagement.

After getting eCommerce successes in China, "TikTok Photos" might extend TikTok's in-stream shopping experience to another new platform.

TikTok is reportedly working on a new business signaling its ambitions to expand its scope of business, “TikTok Photos,” aimed at creating a niche similar to Instagram’s most loved format. 

The new “TikTok Photos” appears set to introduce a platform fully dedicated to still images, encouraging its users to share snapshots with a broader audience entering from short videos to still photos. A leaked welcome message gives hint at the app’s potential to help users attract new followers: “TikTok Photos will be launched soon, we hope to help you gain new audiences in the new app.”

This move to create a dedicated platform considering TikTok’s recent try to integrate a “photo mode” for in-stream still images motivating users to post more photographs. It’s a bold and strategic step that aligns with the digital trends in China.

This new feature allows its users to share photos in a similar format to Instagram’s, encouraging the speculation of an upcoming separate app. 

Users can share still images currently on TikTok and view them in a format similar to Instagram with a swipe feature. The recent developments suggest this feature might go beyond the popularity of TikTok app itself.
