TikTok introduced on Wednesday that it’s launching “Local Feeds,” an opt-in function that makes use of exact GPS location information to create a feed of localized content material, much like the “Nearby Feeds” that launched within the UK and Europe in December.
The brand new localized feeds for US customers will embody “native content material associated to journey, occasions, eating places and buying, in addition to posts from small companies and native creators.” Native Feeds might be turned off by default and aren’t out there to customers who’re below 18. TikTok USDS says the exact location monitoring used for the function is “solely lively when the app is in use.” Customers who select to activate their Native Feed will see it as a tab of their dwelling display screen within the app.
