TikTok users will soon be able to send voice notes, images and videos in chats

SMRTR summary

TikTok is enhancing its messaging features with voice notes, images, and videos in direct messages and group chats. Voice notes will be limited to one minute, and users can share up to nine images or videos. Safety measures include preventing media as first messages and maintaining age restrictions for messaging. Users over 18 can toggle automatic nudity detection. These additions align TikTok more closely with competitors like Messenger and Snapchat as it expands beyond short-form videos.
