A recent update to TikTok for larger screen devices like tablets and foldable brings a handful of new features. This is bringing some necessary fixes to the user experience on these devices that have been lacking for a long time. TikTok took to its newsroom page to announce this new upgrade, listing out what large-screen device users will benefit from.
Three areas see necessary upgrades for TikTok for large-screen devices. Particularly, the third area that TikTok points out is one that users have longed for over the past months. The upgrade brings some necessary upgrades to the design of the app that improve user experience.
The first area TikTok points out that gets an upgrade is the video feed on larger screen devices. Now, users will be able to enjoy clearer videos that match a good part of the large aspect ratio of their device. In the past, users of larger screen devices have struggled with low-quality videos while surfing content on TikTok.
The next area that TikTok points out to get an upgrade is the navigation bar. The new navigation bar on TikTok for large-screen devices is more streamlined. Users will be able to benefit from the sleek navigation bars at the top and bottom of their devices.
Lastly, TikTok is bringing support for landscape or portrait mode on large-screen devices. So users will be able to hold their large device however they wish and TikTok will adjust the display to suit their needs. This is an ability that users have long waited for, and now it’s finally here on their large-screen devices.
With this upgrade, TikTok shows that they are also looking out for their users who prefer large-screen devices for daily usage. If you also use TikTok on a large-screen device, then this update is coming your way as well. You can now head over to the Play Store or the App Store and install the latest update to the TikTok app.
