TikTok launches text posts; taking on Threads, Twitter

TikTok users can now make text-based posts alongside its primary short-video format, taking on Meta’s Threads and Twitter, which recently rebranded as X.

The new content option allows users to share stories, poems, song lyrics and other written content, the social media company announced Monday.

“With text posts, we’re expanding the boundaries of content creation for everyone on TikTok, giving the written creativity we’ve seen in comments, captions, and videos a dedicated space to shine,” TikTok says.
