JAKARTA - Some time ago, social media service TikTok was reportedly testing full-screen mode in landscape form to selected users.
The report says that one user sees a new full-screen button option on regular square and rectangular videos.
The truth of the news was later confirmed by a TikTok spokesperson who said they were constantly looking for the latest way for its users.
"We're always thinking of new ways to add value to the community and enrich the TikTok experience," a TikTok spokesperson told VOI in an email when confirmed, Monday, December 19.
The spokesman also revealed the reason for this trial was because they wanted to continue to build a place that could unite entertainment and creativity.
"Because we continue to build a safe place that entertains, inspires creativity and cultural movement," he added.
TikTok is known to be a tough competitor to several other social media such as YouTube, Instagram, and Facebook. The presence of this new feature makes it closer to Google's video streaming platform.
Earlier this year alone, TikTok expanded its video length to a maximum of up to 10 minutes, after testing it for years. So it's no surprise to see the company launch a full-screen horizontal mode, especially for the duration of the video that long.
On the other hand, many countries are still trying to ban their people from using the TikTok application because it is claimed that the Chinese government uses TikTok to steal users' personal data.
Several countries that have issued bans on the use of TikTok are Alabama, Iowa, Maryland, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, and the last Georgia.
