TikTok is launching its Instagram competitor, TikTok Notes, in select markets. The app is available on the Google Play Store and the Apple App Store in Canada and Australia, the company said.
The company told X that it is in the “early stages” of rolling out the app. TikTok said the app is “a dedicated space for photo and text content.”
“We hope the TikTok community will use TikTok Notes to continue sharing their moments through photo posts. “Whether you’re documenting adventures, expressing creativity, or simply sharing snapshots of someone’s day, the TikTok Notes experience is designed for those who want to share and engage through photographic content,” it said.
The company hasn’t said much about the app’s features and functionality, other than the fact that users can sign in with their existing TikTok account. Even the app description in the app store is pretty light on details.
“TikTok Notes is a lifestyle platform that offers informative photo-text content about people’s lives, where you can see people sharing their travel tips and daily recipes,” reads the description on the app stores.
The screenshots in the App Store listing suggest that the posts will appear in two-column grids on the home page. The screenshots also indicate that you can post multiple photos via a carousel post.
Earlier this month, TechCrunch reported that the Bytedance-owned company’s Instagram competitor is likely to be called TikTok Notes.
Notably, TikTok already allows image and text posts. However, the company wants to create a new space for these kinds of posts to compete with Meta’s apps like Instagram and Threads.
