TikTok - Videos, Shop & LIVE

Short videos, shopping and live broadcasts

TikTok - Videos, Shop & LIVE is a social app for watching a personalised stream of short videos, sharing your own clips and following creators. It also brings product discovery and live broadcasts into the same app, so it suits people who want entertainment, creator communities and shopping in one place.

How the app works

The main viewing experience is built around a full-screen vertical feed. Swipe to move between videos, then use reactions, comments, follows and shares to shape what appears next. Recommendations are based largely on viewing behaviour and interests, rather than only on the people you already know.

• Browse short-form videos across a wide range of subjects and styles.
• Record and edit clips with in-app effects, filters and music.
• Watch LIVE broadcasts and interact with hosts while they are streaming.
• Explore TikTok Shop listings alongside video content where shopping is available.

Good for active viewers and creators

This is a natural fit for anyone who prefers discovering content by topic instead of searching through a fixed list of accounts. Creators can use the built-in production tools to publish video, while viewers can follow accounts, respond to posts and take part in live conversations. The large amount of content also means the feed can quickly become a long browsing session, so screen-time controls may be useful for some users.
