TikTok has recently announced an “adults only” feature for live broadcasting, leading some users to speculate it could become a new OnlyFans.
TikTok’s announcement to add an “adults only” feature for their live broadcasting option has prompted many users to begin speculating that this feature could ultimately end up turning the platform into an OnlyFans alternative.
TikTok announced: “In the coming weeks, we plan to introduce a new way for creators to choose if they’d prefer to only reach an adult audience in their LIVE.”
“For instance, perhaps a comedy routine is better suited for people over age 18. Or, a host may plan to talk about a difficult life experience and they would feel more comfortable knowing the conversation is limited to adults.”
“We want our community to make the most of the opportunities LIVE can bring without compromising on safety.”
Their intentions don’t seem to include anything in the form of sex work, which may soon be coming to the platform.
TikTok isn’t the only social media platform rolling out new features, as Instagram recently announced they would be trying out the ability for users to add songs to their bios similar to Myspace.
Mobile developer and reverse app engineer Alessandro Paluzzi recently shared his findings on Twitter, which he found after combing through the platform’s latest development code.
The update appears to allow you to pick a song to add to your profile, something that could represent who you are, your current mood, or your favorite song at the moment. This feature would be similar to MySpace’s ability to add songs.
“#Instagram is working on the ability to add a song to your profile”
Outside of new developments, Instagram has had a few glitches in recent months that have frustrated users. One such glitch was people repeatedly seeing the same stories despite having already cycled through them.
On Wednesday, June 15th, Instagram released patch 239.1. The update’s patch notes were brief, and read, “The latest version contains bug fixes and performance improvements.” While there were no specifics regarding the stories bug, users reported the patch resolved the issue.
