After securing a solid position in the short video-sharing apps segment, TikTok is making strides in the photo-sharing app market. There were previously rumours that TikTok was working on photo-sharing apps. We now have confirmation that it will be calledTikTok Notes.

In the last few days, many TikTok users have received prompts aboutTikTok Notesdetailing the app’s functioning and how it would change things. Besides, there’s a toggle to enable/disable photo sharing onTikTok Notes.

TikTok’s executive also confirmed this toTechCrunch.

Though there is no official confirmation regarding the release date, we expect it to be soon, given TikTok has started the outreach.

Can TikTok Notes compete with Instagram?

TikTok Notes, in the early days, might be a match for Instagram in terms of the number of photo posts.

TikTok Notesdoesn’t need to onboard new users at a massive scale. Its already available user base will drive the numbers in the initial days, as was the case withThreads. But if the app isn’t good, the numbers will start to dwindle, and it might reach a state of obscurity.

The initial hype doesn’t necessarily translate into long-term success. The Covid-era fad,Clubhouse, is another example!

On the other hand, if TikTok’s Instagram rival turns out to be good, it will drive engagement and might boast a higher user base than Instagram in some countries. As for those whereTikTok faces legal hurdlesor is banned, Instagram will retain its position as the market leader.

The coming days will be exciting asTikTok Notesand Instagram battle it out in the photo-sharing app space.

Which of the two do you think will be a better pick? Share with our readers in the comments section.
