Twitter, which has undergone dozens of changes under the management of Elon Musk, has gained many new competitors in this process. Finally, it looks like TikTok will also join this race. The short video platform will develop a new text-based posting feature, making it possible to share text instead of video on the platform.
How to share TikTok text post?
According to the news on ShiftDelete.Net, TikTok text posting feature allows users to share text content up to 2500 characters, similar to tweeting. The platform also offers background, audio, location tags and hashtag support to enrich text posts. This allows TikTok users to tell their thoughts, stories or experiences without having to create a video.
The timing of the rollout of text posts is also noteworthy. Musk, who changed the Twitter logo the other day and caused an uproar on the platform, caused movement in his competitors. TikTok also turned this into an opportunity and opened the text-based post feature.
TikTok text-based posting is now rolling out globally. Android and iOS users can now express their thoughts on the platform by simply sharing text.
TikTok’s user base is growing every day and has experienced an explosion in popularity over the past few years, especially among young people. The app reached 1 billion monthly active users in 2022.
On the other hand, Mastodon, another competitor of Twitter, has grown quite fast since Musk took over the company. Instagram, owned by Meta, entered this field with its text-based Threads app.
