TikTok experiments stories feature

Published

  • TikTok first experimented with its stories feature last summer.
  • It is now expanding the pilot test.
  • All users do not have access to the feature yet.

TikTok is providing more users with its Snapchat-style stories feature after experimenting with it in some regions last summer, Tech Crunch reported.

People who have received the update will be welcomed by a banner encouraging them to post a story.

Like the usual story style goes on Instagram and Snapchat, TikTok Stories can also be viewed by clicking the profile picture before they vanish after 24 hours of being posted.

However, unlike Instagram, users can only see the number of people that viewed their story and not who viewed it. Public comments can also be made instead of a direct reply as a private message.

The “post” button on the bottom centre navigation bar of the app allows users to post a story.

All users do not have access to the feature yet.

“Currently, we’re expanding a pilot test, which provides creators with additional formats to bring their creative ideas to life for the TikTok community,” a TikTok spokesperson told TechCrunch.

Aamir Khan declared his retirement from the film industry.

Aamir Khan, a prominent actor and director with over 35 years of service in Bollywood, revealed that he nearly withdrew from his work a few years ago, but his family persuaded him to reconsider this choice.

In a recent joint interview with his former spouse Kiran Rao, Khan stated, “I resolved to resign prior to Laal Singh Chadha.” I was undergoing a personal journey.

“As the Covid pandemic waned, I abruptly recognised that I have devoted the majority of my adult life, from the age of 18 to the present, entirely to cinema and films.” Consequently, I perceived that I had not sufficiently supported my connections with my children, siblings, and family. Regardless of whether it was Kiran or Reena during my marriage to them. He articulated that he believed he had not sufficiently supported these individuals. I experienced significant shame and was dissatisfied with my actions. Having completed numerous films over the past 35 years, I can now concentrate on my family.

The ‘Taare Zameen Par’ actor recalled the moment he informed his family of the news. He remembered, “I gathered my family and expressed my desire to abandon my film career to spend time with all of you.” My reaction was not due to any disappointment with the film.

“Junaid and Ira, his elder children from his first wife Reena Dutta, persuaded me to continue.” Junaid enquired, ‘Why must you oscillate between extremes?’ There exists an intermediary space in which one can reside. They elucidated that to me, and I returned. Khan disclosed that no one was aware of his resignation, ultimately stating, “No tangible outcome resulted from it.” It was merely my individual path.

Aamir Khan will next appear in the self-produced film ‘Sitaare Zameen Par’, alongside Genelia Deshmukh and Darsheel Safary. The spiritual successor to ‘Taare Zameen Par’ (2007) is set for theatrical release on December 25.
