TikTok has announced that it is developing a tool that allows users to dislike specific comments on videos. Individuals can flag remarks they feel “irrelevant or inappropriate” without their disapproval being seen to others, according to a TikTok blog article on safety and community guidelines enforcement. Earlier this year, some users noticed multiple versions of the choice.
“This community feedback will add to the range of factors we already use to help keep the comment section consistently relevant and a place for genuine engagement,” TikTok asserts.
Users of TikTok may already hate videos to let the app know they don’t care for the content. In addition to the option to report a remark for violating community guidelines, the comment dislike button appears to be present.
The business also claims it’s experimenting with sending reminders to creators who receive a lot of critical comments about capabilities like comment filtering and bulk ban and delete. According to TikTok, decisions on whether to fully implement the feature will be made in the following weeks.
TikTok says it eliminated over 85 million videos for infractions between October and December 2021, accounting for nearly 1% of all videos uploaded to the platform, according to today’s transparency report.
According to data from mobile research firm Sensor Tower, TikTok has been downloaded more than 130 million times in the United States and has surpassed 2 billion downloads worldwide (those numbers exclude Android users in China).
In 2018, celebrities such as Jimmy Fallon and Tony Hawk started using the app in the United States.
Jennifer Lopez, Jessica Alba, Will Smith, and Justin Bieber are among the celebs who have joined TikTok, and many more have followed suit.
TikTok and the National Football League (NFL) of the United States announced a multi-year agreement on September 3, 2019. The collaboration was announced just two days before the start of the NFL’s 100th season at Soldier Field, where TikTok sponsored activities for fans to commemorate the occasion.
Users of the TikTok smartphone app may make short movies with music in the backdrop that can be sped up, slowed down, or altered with a filter. On top of the background music, they can add their own sound. Users can use the software to make a music video by selecting background music from a variety of genres, editing with a filter, and recording a 15-second video with speed tweaks before posting it to TikTok or other social sites. They can also record brief lip-sync videos to well-known songs.
