New TikTok Feature Lets Creators Share 'TikTok Stories' To Instagram And Facebook

JAKARTA - While the Meta, Instagram and Facebook apps seem busy bringing out feature updates similar to TikTok, this ByteDance app has actually launched a new feature that allows its videos to appear on more platforms.

TikTok confirmed to TechCrunch that it is launching a new tool that allows users to share TikTok stories to Facebook and Instagram.

According to existing reports, this feature has actually been tested since last year, but it seems that it only started rolling out some time ago.

However, the company says, because it's just launched, it's likely that many users still haven't seen the tool in its app.

According to the company, this move can increase the visibility of TikTok content on the Meta platform.

The feature was first discovered by product intelligence company Watchful.ai. Prior to the update, TikTok users could only share their stories with friends on TikTok.

Later when this feature is widely released, you will find this sharing tool to Instagram and Facebook in a new tab located above the option to save videos, delete, or change privacy settings.

Please note that this feature is a feature that allows you to share TikTok Stories instead of TikTok Videos.

TikTok did not confirm when the feature would fully roll out to its global user base. However, it should be noted that TikTok Stories itself is still in global testing.

Then, given that this isn't a fully ready-to-launch finished product, features like these may not roll out to the app for all users, or may change by the time the product is publicly launched.

After all, posting TikTok stories videos to other platforms can allow creators to capture more of their audience, without having to compete with Reels.
