TikTok takes on Twitter with text posts

TikTok has introduced a new feature allowing users to create text-only posts with a character limit of 1,000, as it aims to leverage Twitter's ongoing issues following its acquisition by Elon Musk.

Introduction of Text-only Posts on TikTok: The Chinese short-video platform TikTok has announced a new feature that allows users to create text-only posts.

The move was announced on Monday.

The new feature has a character limit of 1,000.

Users will be able to choose various backgrounds for their text posts.

These posts will also support hashtags and the tagging of other users.

Comparison with Other Social Media Platforms: This new development makes TikTok's text posts somewhat similar to Instagram Stories.

The news agency, Reuters, has reported this update.

The technology news website, The Verge, has also provided a report on this matter.

Response from Competitors: Meanwhile, other social media giants are also making their moves.

Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta Platforms, launched a text-only application called Threads in July.

This could pose a potential threat to Elon Musk's rebranded Twitter.

Changes to Twitter under Elon Musk: Twitter has undergone some significant changes since its buyout by Elon Musk.

Elon Musk renamed Twitter to 'X' on Monday.

The iconic blue bird logo has been removed as Musk aims to create an "everything app".
