With only two years on the market, BeReal has taken care to captivate the younger generation, just like the Chinese platform does.
However, one of the most attractive elements that has caught the attention of TikTok is that it shows more natural photos, without the possibility of editing.
Taking into account this naturalness and how relevant it is for users, it was like the social network developed by ByteDance decided to integrate a similar function.
What is TikTok Now?
This is a new feature available for short videos that invites users to capture what they are doing at a random time of day.
this is done using the front and rear camera to record the person and environment from two different angles.
How to know when I should publish?, simple, the same app of TikTok send you one daily notification to tell you the precise moment when you should take a photo or videoso that it is published immediately.
Since there is no option to edit once you have recorded or taken a photo, ideally, in a matter of seconds, you can review what is around you.
If you didn’t want something that appears, you won’t have a way to change it, hence one of the novelties of BeReal and now of TikTokNow.
To find this feature, just go to the bottom of the navigation bar next to the “Publishing” button.
Then click on the lightning bolt icon and you will see a TikTok Nows browse feed.
How to use it?
Now, if you are new to this and are interested in experiencing how it works, we tell you how to use TikTok Now.
- Access the TikTok app as you normally do.
- The next step is to click on the lightning bolt icon, as we said, and it is labeled “Now”.
