TikTok is updating, improving its interface on tablets and foldable mobile devices
TikTok, one of the trendiest applications in recent years, has updated its interface on mobile devices such as tablets and foldable smartphones so that users who use their services through these devices can enjoy a better user experience. In this way, the Chinese app continues to align itself with all possible formats so that everyone can enjoy its content.
The TikTok format often requires a very specific design to accommodate all types of mobile devices, with their corresponding screen ratios, sizes, and resolutions. With this new change, users who enjoy the app on tablets and foldable phones will now have a much more satisfying adapted design.
As TikTok explains in its corporate blog, they have been working to improve the app’s design for larger devices. In the format of tablets, or foldable book-like mobiles, the format, not as elongated as that of current mobile devices, had certain flaws due to lack of optimization, something that the company has already solved.
In this way, the interface improvements are summarized by TikTok through these three main changes:
A cleaner video feed. Taking advantage of the wider edges of these devices, the buttons on the ends have been moved out of the video, allowing for a fuller and cleaner viewing experience even on smartphones.
Navigation bars to the edges. The navigation buttons on the edges of the screen will adapt to the width of the display for easier handling.
Vertical and landscape use. TikTok has optimized the interface to work optimally in both vertical and landscape formats, adapting to the preferences and needs of each user.
TikTok is one of the most popular applications among children nowadays
A format copied by the competition
TikTok is a mass phenomenon today. With a video style and algorithms capable of capturing users more than any other previous format, the Chinese application, previously known as Musically in the West, has become a portal where all kinds of content can be found: from trends and dances, to news and informative information on all kinds of topics.
That’s why the competition didn’t hesitate for a moment to align themselves with the successful format that TikTok developed. Meta created their own version with Reels, which are now part of both Instagram and Facebook, and YouTube created their own version with YouTube Shorts, which are growing rapidly as a consumption format within classic YouTube.
