TikTok Now

The TikTok Now application is an official social tool that invites you to share photos and videos taken on the spot at the same time as your friends.

Share your most authentic moments with your TikTok friends

We all try to show our sweet side on social media. However, filters, retouches, and edits give the whole thing an unreal and artificial feel, which is ultimately very damaging.

Initiatives like BeReal have emerged to fight falsehood and posturing on social networks. And now TikTok has been “inspired” by this idea and created its own platform on which users can show themselves as they are in a spontaneous moment every day.

The BeReal version of the Chinese social network

TikTok Now is a second app from the famous Chinese social network. The idea is very promising because it invites us to show ourselves as we are or to show what we are doing at an indeterminate time of the day.

To do this, the app sends us a notification every day at a random time. We have three minutes to take a photo or a ten-second video with the back camera of our phone. Immediately afterwards, the front camera takes a selfie.

The tool automatically assembles both documents and inserts the time. The challenge is to upload the images immediately, without retouching and without prior preparation.

All posts are kept on a calendar, and you can choose whether you want the whole world to see and comment, or just your friends. However, this is one of the TikTok features reserved for people over the age of 18.

In summary, downloading the APK file invites you to engage in a fun and interesting activity. However, it's a blatant copy of BeReal, except that it also allows us to record short videos.
