TikTok continues to evolve, and its latest feature for iOS users is a game-changer for music enthusiasts. Users can seamlessly add their favorite TikTok tracks directly to their Spotify, Apple Music, or Amazon Music playlists. However, there’s a catch – you need a subscription to one of these streaming services to unlock this feature.
The new functionality appears at the bottom of each video, sporting the label “Add a Sound.” The app prompts users to authorize the preferred streaming service upon tapping it for the first time. Once authorized, the selected songs automatically find a spot in the chosen platform’s playlist.
This latest move positions TikTok as the most potent global platform for discovering and promoting music. The “Add a Sound” button establishes a direct link between the app and popular music streaming services, making it even easier for music lovers to relish full-length songs that they catch snippets of in the videos they peruse.
All the added tracks find their way into a dedicated playlist or a list of liked songs, depending on the chosen platform. Users can customize the auto-save collection in the settings if they prefer.
This new feature is only available in the United States and the United Kingdom. However, the company has assured users that it will gradually roll out to other countries, although specific timelines have not been disclosed. TikTok also promises to integrate additional music services into the app in the future.
This development underlines TikTok’s commitment to enhancing the overall user experience and cementing its position as a social media platform and a central hub for content creation and music discovery. As the app continues to innovate, its influence on music trends and artists’ visibility will likely grow, further solidifying its status as a cultural powerhouse in the digital landscape. Watch for this feature to reach a TikTok app near you, bringing your favorite tracks seamlessly into your streaming library.
