TikTok has become a popular place to discover and share songs. However, the company recently announced that its TikTok Music platform would be shutting down later this month. The service would close by the end of the month and all the user data from it would be deleted. TikTok Music never launched in the United States but was available in other regions.
TikTok has having a hard time recently and is facing scrutiny from authorities currently. Recently, it was reported TikTok is facing 14 lawsuits from different states in the US, alleging the social media platform is having a bad effect on young users. On top of that, the Canadian government ordered TikTok to wind down its operations in the country citing alleged security risks.
I find it pretty cool that despite all the troubles TikTok has been facing, it’s still working on improving its features for its users. The new streaming platform integration would probably make a lot of TikTok users happy, as they can now share their favorite songs with no difficulty on the platform.
After all, social media is all about sharing, so adding more features to make sharing easier is a good thing for a platform like this.
