What is TikTok Now?

TikTok Now gives a platform the authenticity of fresh creative experience that links you to your closest relationship on TikTok.
Just like BeReal, when everyday BeReal goes out, users get a push notification telling them that “it’s time to BeReal,” let me tell you that TikTok’s notification looks the same — users are notified by saying “Time to Now.”
Adding to your amaze, the only difference between BeReal & TikTok Now notification is that, BeReal notification is bookend by alert emojis and TikTok Now notification is notified between Lightning Emojis.
Why Did TikTok Launch The TikTok Now Feature?
As you know, the French Social Media App,BeReal is gaining popularity because of its specially designed feature of capturing unfiltered front and back authenticated pictures.
In this modern world, nothing seems to be real. That’s why BeReal was launched in 2020. It invites users to take a front and back camera photo at a random time every day without any filter. Instagram is reported to be developing its own time-based, ephemeral feature, while Snapchat and Instagram have already debuted front and rear camera functions. TikTok might feel this is the best time to take advantage of that and beat its competitors by being the first one to launch BeReal to its platform.
This is why TikTok launched the TikTok Now feature.
TikTok Now Features:
- The TikTok Now is right next to the Home tab in the TikTok app . It will use the dual camera feature of your mobile phone. Everyday you will receive a notification “Time To Now”, in which you will get a 3 minute window to click a still picture and take a 10 seconds video.
