TikTok Notes is available now on Android and iOS for testers in Canada and Australia. Unlike TikTok’s focus on videos, it shares photos more like Instagram or Pinterest.
TikTok has started rolling out its Instagram rival, TikTok Notes, to select Android and iOS users “for download and limited testing in Australia and Canada.” A tweet announcing the launch, as well as the App Store and Google Play listings, showed off some official images of the app that offer insights about how it works for those of us who don’t have access yet. In them, we see that you can write up headlines for images above your captions, which is a feature Instagram doesn’t natively offer.
It’s not clear whose posts are highlighted here, but it’s likely accounts similar to the ones you follow TikTok thinks you might like. Besides these small tweaks, though, the app is very similar to Instagram, which is a change from the usual. For years, Meta’s been the one copying other social media platforms like TikTok with Reels and Snapchat with Stories. With TikTok Notes, though, TikTok looks like it’s copying back.
