A new app named TikTok Notes, which will allow text posts along with images, is about to be released by the short video network TikTok. Technical sources suggest that this app could directly compete with Instagram.

Some of TikTok's users received news about the impending TikTok Notes platform.
A TikTok spokesperson explained, in a statement to the “TikCrunch” blog, which specializes in technology news, that the new application is one of the platform’s attempts to open the way for users to express their ideas and visions and bring out the spirit of innovation from within them, in the form of text posts supported by images.
A potential official launch date for the new application was not specified by TikTok.
It's interesting to note that earlier leaks suggested TikTok was developing a photo service, with the leaked name being TikTok Photos. However, the platform renamed its upcoming app "TikTok Notes," since it will serve as a forum for posts that combine texts. and images.
Midway through March, a story surfaced that TikTok was developing a photo-sharing app under a different name: TikTok Photos.
Similarity of names
The new application will be a direct competitor to the Instagram platform, which was originally based on the idea of trading photos and adding a text description to them.
What is interesting is that “Notes” is the name of a feature that Instagram already makes available to its users within the DM space, and it is available in two forms, the first is text that appears in the form of a bubble containing a space for text consisting of only 60 characters, which appears on the user’s picture at the top of the mailbox, and the second It is a short video, and both have a validity period of only 24 hours.
The new TikTok application aims to attack Instagram in its home and main arena, after the second expanded significantly in the field of the first, which is short videos, as this feature on Instagram is witnessing great demand by content creators, as a result of financial reward programs that have reached $1,000 per month.
