TikTok decided to compete with Twitter and Threads and added text messages

TikTok users will be able to post text messages. In the new mode, you can enter messages, add sounds, stickers, hashtags and other elements to them. The maximum length of publications will be 1000 characters.

The social network will have the ability to save posts as drafts and plan a future series of publications. TikTok representatives believe that the new feature will allow users to share stories, songs, poems, notes and other content that was not previously available on the social network. In addition, users will be able to merge publications to create “duets”, just like with regular videos.

TikTok is launching a new feature amid the showdown between Twitter and Meta Corporation’s new social network Threads. In the first five days after the launch of Threads, 100 million users signed up for it.

Previously, TikTok began limited testing in the iOS app of an artificial intelligence-based chatbot. A button to talk to an assistant called Tako is next to the likes and comments panel. The chatbot can provide explanations for the videos watched: for example, the AI assistant will tell the audience of the coronation of Charles III about the history and significance of the ceremony.
