TikTok has introduced a series of updates aimed at making the platform more social and collaborative. The first update, called Shared Feed, allows friends and family to share a curated feed of 15 videos generated by TikTok activity. This shared feed is accessible via direct messaging and can be watched together, with participants able to leave the chat at any time.
The tool also includes a dashboard that provides users with metrics on their shared likes, as well as a way to check out their Shared Like history. With this feature, users can discover new content together, creating a more social experience within the app.
TikTok has also launched Shared Collections, which allows users to collect and organize groups of videos. This tool is designed to be used for sharing reading lists, local restaurants, or products to buy. Users can save a video, create a Shared Collection, and send that list to someone else via direct message. However, there's a catch - users must follow one another to access the shared collection.
The updates are part of TikTok's efforts to expand its social features, making it more of a platform for sharing content with friends and family. The introduction of these features puts pressure on Instagram, which recently introduced similar features.

shared feeds sound like the perfect way to catch up with friends who live far away or are just super busy... it's like having a private movie night together 
and being able to see what kind of vids u r all into is def a win 
but omg the fact that instagram is getting salty about it? 
this is exactly why we need more platforms for socializing and sharing content 
. I mean, it's not just about individual browsing anymore, we get to experience the content as a team 
. And if someone bails on us mid-watch, they can just leave the chat and we'll still be able to see what we missed 
. The new dashboard for tracking likes and shared collections is also super neat 
! I'm loving how TikTok's getting more social and collaborative vibes 
. Guess Instagram better watch out 
I'm all about this new Shared Feed update from TikTok! It's like having your own little social club within the app where you can hang out with friends and family while watching vids together 
The competition is heating up! 
but overall i think tiktok is onto something here
what's next? 
think about all the ppl who just wanna scroll mindlessly thru vids without being bombarded by their fave creator's personal life or whatever 
shared feed is just another way for tiktok to get us hooked on their algorithm and watch our likes & views skyrocket... btw if i follow someone just to access a shared collection it kinda feels like they're doing me a favor or something 
also the shared collections thingy is so useful for discovering new content & getting recs from ppl w/ similar tastes 
gotta say, i'm hyped to see where this goes
i like the idea of watching vids with mates but i'm not sure about the "shared feed" thing... feels like it's just gonna be a bunch of ads and stuff we don't want 
. instagram is already copying them, now tiktok's gotta copy instagram... can we just focus on making vids that are actually good instead of trying to be social 
?
. Can't they just make it open to everyone? Still, I'm curious to see how this plays out and if users actually start using these new features more...
the fact that u can leave the chat whenever u want is also a major win 
no need to feel like ur stuck or awkward. and omg Shared Collections?! 
this is def goin to change the game on tiktok
