Describe TikTok music. Social media platform to compete with Apple Music and Spotify With the introduction of TikTok music, the most used app for sharing short videos, TikTok is ready to take on Spotify and Apple Music. The app will now be more than just a video app, with its own music player where users can enjoy the latest songs, amid rumors that the company has filed for a trademark.
TikTok’s parent business. In May 2022, Byte Dance filed a trademark application with the US Patent and Trademark Office.
The Likely Features of TikTok Music Streaming App
According to sources, TikTok will soon allow users to download, play, and even purchase songs through its app. They can also create, share and recommend their own playlists using the app, which is similar in function to Spotify.
In addition, the application will allow interactive audio and video programming in the areas of entertainment, fashion, sports and current affairs.
Also, it is rumored to have a feature to download mobile apps that offer podcast and radio streaming content. Users can comment on music and watch audio and video live streams with TikTok music, which is unique. Users of the app will also be able to search for songs that are now playing in the background. It should be noted that Byte Dance, the parent company of TikTok, had filed similar patent and trademark applications in November 2021.
The company has a background in the music industry because TikTok offers second-by-second streaming of a variety of songs and music videos. Resso is a music streaming app that Byte Dance also launched in 2020 in countries like Indonesia, Brazil, and India. Resso offers the same features as the planned music app, according to reports on file.
App users can create playlists and share them with their contacts and friends. They can also engage with the app community through Resso. What’s even more intriguing is that in Brazil, a button on TikTok takes users to Resso, where they can listen to the music they’re interested in in full.
Another feature very similar to Spotify and YouTube is Resso’s TikTok-style scrolling interface, which displays recommendations based on the user’s browsing history.
As of November 2021, Resso had 40 million monthly users in Indonesia, Brazil, and India, according to statistics published in The Information. The same numbers also show that between January 2021 and January 2022, the proportion increased dramatically in India alone.
Spotify grew just 38% compared to Resso’s staggering 304% increase, highlighting the intense rivalry Resso and Apple Music will face once the music version of the app launches.
Additionally, app tracker AppBrain reports that there have been more than 100 million downloads of Resso from around the world. Sources claim that the music app will work to make a name for itself in key markets like the US and Europe.
