TikTok is gearing up to launch a photo-sharing app dubbed “Notes” in a move that could rival social media platform Instagram.<\/p>\n
Users have reported seeing pop up notifications with information on the latest app.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
TikTok chiefs have not confirmed when it will launch but said it will be “soon”.<\/p>\n
Some Reddit users have shared screenshots of what the app could soon become.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In one picture, the message on the TikTok app reads: “Your photo posts will now be shown on TikTok”.<\/p>\n
It continues saying: “TikTok Notes, a new app for photo posts, is coming soon! Your existing and future public TikTok photo posts will be shown on TikTok Notes.”<\/p>\n
The message adds: “If you prefer not to show your public TikTok photo posts on TikTok Notes, turn this off now.”<\/p>\n
The photo features a slider button where users can choose to share on the new app or not.<\/p>\n

TikTok said they are working on the new app but it is not available for users yet.<\/p>\n
A spokesperson said: “As part of our continued commitment to innovating the TikTok experience, we\u2019re exploring ways to empower our community to create and share their creativity with photos and text in a dedicated space for those formats.”<\/p>\n
The runaway success of TikTok has forced competitors like Instagram and YouTube to shift focus to shorter video clips, launching competitors Reels and Shorts respectively to avoid losing users.<\/p>\n
The TikTok Photos app was initially discovered by TheSpAndroid blog<\/a><\/strong>, which unearthed details of the as-yet-unannounced app within the code of the latest version of the TikTok app on Android.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
According to code discovered by team at TheSpAndroid<\/a>, posting a photo on TikTok will summon a prompt about the new app, stating “TikTok Photos will be launched soon…”<\/p>\n
