Prior to this update, users have been able to share TikTok videos with WhatsApp; this update will merely act as a shortcut.
There isn’t a release date, but you can probably expect it to come out in one of the next TikTok updates.
TikTok is also testing a new feature to show how many times a video was downloaded and liked. There will also be a new “Discover” tab, but it is unknown as of now what the tab will do.
