TikTok's new 'Whee' app seems to ape Instagram's photo sharing, but it isn't available in the United States.
While Instagram is known for copying competitors’ features, it’s TikTok now copying Instagram with its new “Whee” app.
TikTok parent company ByteDance reportedly launched a new photo-sharing app called Whee, as spotted by APKMirror founder Artem Russakovskii. Am I the first one to report this? Bytedance, the developer of Tiktok, is testing a new app called Whee. It's currently not available in the US but it is live in over a dozen countries.“Whee is a new social app created to keep you connected with your close friends through life’s spontaneous moments,” reads the app’s Google Play Store listing, which Russakovskii shared. “Capture and share real-life photos that only your friends can see, allowing you to be your most authentic self.
It’s also important to note that TikTok’s attempt to recreate some of Instagram’s appeal is not one-sided. Instagram has borrowed features from TikTok as well, most notably its short-form video posts “Reels.”TikTok Admits It Spied on US Journalists as App Faces Potential Ban
