TikTok is testing a 'Nearby' Feed
TikTok users may soon have access to a third section in their feed that would show local content, as the platform is experimenting with a third feed called “Nearby.”
The feature is currently being tested in Southeast Asia, and users who are part of the test will see this new tab beside the ‘For You’ and ‘Following’ page.
Comment: I like it. Great for consumes and venue businesses. It will give TikTok yet another boost.
