TikTok Music App Could Potentially Challenge Spotify and Apple

In May, it was announced that TikTok’s parent company, ByteDance, filed for a trademark of “TikTok Music.” According to The Verge, TikTok Music would “let users purchase, play, share, and download music. It would also allow users to create, share, and recommend playlists, comment on music, as well as livestream audio and video.”

The plan for a potential, but not yet confirmed TikTok music service is not surprising to many, especially since the social media app heavily works with music. With this potential new service, other popular music streaming services such as Spotify and Apple Music, could face more competition.
