"TikTok is giving users new ways to interact with others via direct messages (DMs), the company told TechCrunch on Friday. Users will now be able to send voice notes and share up to nine images or videos in one-to-one and group chats on the platform. With these new features, TikTok is positioning itself as more than just an entertainment platform, aiming to become a place where users interact regularly beyond simply sending each other TikTok videos."
"With voice notes, users can record and send audio messages up to 60 seconds long. The launch of the feature comes as services like WhatsApp, Instagram, and Apple's Messages already offer the ability to send voice notes to others via DMs. The feature is rolling out over the next few weeks, TikTok says. As for sharing photos and videos, users can either take a photo or video with their camera or select one from their camera roll to share it with others."
TikTok is introducing voice notes and expanded media sharing within direct messages, enabling audio messages up to 60 seconds and up to nine images or videos per message in one-to-one and group chats. Users can capture media with the camera or choose from the camera roll and edit content before sending. Images or videos cannot be sent as the initial message request; first-time senders can only share content already on TikTok. TikTok will remind senders to protect their privacy and be mindful of recipients. DMs remain unavailable under 16; automated protections aim to block nudity for 16–18-year-olds. The features roll out over the next few weeks.
