JAKARTA - Over the past few years, TikTok has emerged as a social media platform to be reckoned with. Presenting content that is entertaining and tends to be easily addictive, TikTok now has millions of users spread across the globe.
After a long time it can only be enjoyed via a smartphone screen, now TikTok is here and can be watched on a wider screen. Launching Android Police, the company recently launched the TikTok application for Android TV.
The TikTok app for Android TV is now available on the Play Store for Chromecast with Google TV. Unfortunately, this application is only available for Google TV products. Based on Scott Scrivens' trial from Android Police, he failed to install this application on the TV Shield.
“Invite your friends and enjoy TikTok via TV. TikTok's short videos are fun, creative, and authentic. And now, we bring entertainment content to your television screen, ”the company wrote via Android Police, Thursday, February 4.
In terms of appearance, this application for Android TV is not much different from the smartphone version. Once opening the application, users will be asked to register or login using an account they already have.
For users who already have a TikTok account, there are two options that speed up the login process. Namely the standard version via the login box, where users can enter the account name and password. The second option is to scan the QR code that appears on the screen to synchronize the account.
Even though this application can be opened via Android TV, it does not mean that the user gets a wider view. Instead of adjusting the display, TikTok still presents videos in portrait mode. Not much different from the smartphone version.
Based on the author's search, the application developed by Bytedance has just been launched in the United Kingdom. Meanwhile, the author 9to5Google's trial to download this app failed when it was done from the United States. This means that this application is not really available for all countries.
It's still unclear if TikTok will launch this app in all countries. It's just that, according to the findings of Brandon Russel from XDA-Developers, the number of countries that can download this application continues to grow. It can be concluded that the company still needs time for the global release of TikTok for Android TV.
