Chinese short-video app TikTok has finally launched a much-awaited text posts feature, an innovative new format designed to empower creators and provide exciting opportunities for self-expression.

With text posts, TikTok is expanding the boundaries of content creation, offering its vibrant community another innovative way to showcase their stories, poems, recipes, and other written content.

The introduction of text posts adds yet another dimension to the content options, enabling creators to effortlessly share their written brilliance and making it even easier to inspire and captivate audiences.

Seamless publishing experience

Creating and sharing text-based content has never been simpler. On the Camera page, users now have the choice of three options: photo, video, and text. Opting for text opens the text creation page, where creators can pen their thoughts and ideas in a user-friendly interface.

Empowering customisation for impactful posts

Once on the Post page, users will find a suite of familiar customization options, ensuring their text posts are just as dynamic and engaging as any video or photo. Adding sound, tagging locations, enabling comments, and inviting duets all contribute to the immersive experience that sets TikTok apart.

Exciting features to amplify creativity

Text posts come loaded with an array of features designed to elevate text-based content and captivate audiences like never before. Some of the exciting highlights include:

Stickers: A collection of expressive stickers that complement the content and add an extra dash of personality.

Tags and hashtags: Creators can connect with others by tagging accounts and joining relevant conversations with trending hashtags.

Background colours: Personalisation is key, and users can choose from a wide range of background colours to match their style and make their text posts pop.

Adding sound: Music is at the heart of TikTok, and now, it seamlessly integrates into text posts, enhancing the reading experience with the perfect soundtrack.

Draft and discard: The creative journey involves experimentation, and with the ability to save drafts and revisit unpublished posts, creators have the freedom to refine their work.

TikTok is dedicated to expanding creative boundaries and fostering a platform where diverse voices thrive. By empowering creators with a dedicated space for written expression, TikTok is unlocking new avenues for storytelling, artistic exploration, and engagement.

TikTok is always looking to empower its creators and community with innovative tools that inspire self-expression. TikTok’s commitment to nurturing creativity in all its forms has led to a diverse array of content formats, including videos, photos, Duets, and Stitch.
