The popularity of TikTok has also forced other technology companies to change themselves, and they are giving more priority to short videos.
After forcing Instagram, Facebook, and other social media networks to follow suit, TikTok is now working on plans to take on YouTube.
Keep in mind that in September 2021, TikTok said that the number of its users worldwide exceeded one billion.
This is why the company is constantly working on new features, some of which are directly comparable to YouTube.
One such new feature is being worked on by TikTok, under which it will be possible to watch videos in full-screen landscape mode like YouTube on phones.
This feature is being tested on a limited number of users worldwide.
The company confirmed in a statement that users selected to test the feature will see a button on their feed alongside normal videos.
When this button is clicked by users, the video will switch to landscape mode and expand to full screen.
TikTok is known for short vertical videos and avoids making videos in landscape mode.
But after this new feature, landscape videos will be able to be made.
The feature is currently undergoing testing so it is hard to say when it will be available to all users.
Earlier, in 2022, Tik Tok increased the duration of videos from 3 minutes to 10 minutes.
As of 2020, kids and teenagers are spending more time on TikTok than YouTube, and that's why this social media network is being brought up against Google's service.
