The new TikTok sharing feature makes it easy to post your TikTok stories as stories to Instagram, Facebook, and other competing social networks.
- What is happening? TikTok has begun rolling out a new sharing feature that allows users to easily post their TikTok stories as stories on competing social networks, including Meta-owned Instagram and Facebook.
- Why care? This should help creators reach more people on competing social networks. Previously, they were unable to post their TikTok stories to Facebook and Instagram.
- What to do? Update your copy of TikTok, then open your story and see if the new sharing features are available in the three-dot menu. From there, choose to share your TikTok story as an Instagram or Facebook story.
Now you can share your TikTok stories as stories on Facebook and Instagram.
Discovered by Watchful.ai, TechCrunch says this feature should help TikTok creators gain more followers by making their content more visible on Meta social media platforms.
Just don’t confuse it with the TikTok video reposts you see everywhere on Instagram (Meta has already stated that it will downgrade any videos that are posted from TikTok by detecting watermarks). The new feature is exclusively for posting TikTok stories as stories to Instagram and Facebook.
TikTok Stories feature is still being tested
This feature is currently being rolled out in stages. If you don’t see new posting options on competing social networks, you might want to come back later. TikTok just started spreading this around the world, so it might take a while for everyone to get their hands on it.
The company did not say when the global rollout could be completed. He may decide to turn it off because the TikTok Stories feature is still in testing. Read: How to Voice TikTok Videos with Synthetic Voice
