TikTok lands on televisions -
Geeko
The social network of the moment is preparing to conquer a new market, that of connected televisions.
TikTok has just signed an exclusive partnership with the Korean giant Samsung to land on the brand's televisions.
A “TV” version of the application has been specially developed for the occasion.
It will soon be available on the Korean manufacturer's Smart TVs.
Like the mobile version, the TV application allows you to view recommended TikTok videos, search among the different content creators, but also surf between the 12 different themes: gaming, humor, sport, travel, animals, etc.
The future of television
It will be possible to watch these videos without necessarily having a TikTok account.
And viewers will be able to like and comment on videos from their TV.
“We are particularly proud and excited to be able to launch the TikTok app on our Smart TVs.
At Samsung, we strive to provide our customers with unmatched content to ensure endless entertainment and the recent addition of TikTok to our range of apps unlocks a new entertainment experience.
With our QLED technology, customers will be able to watch TikTok content creations on a large screen with lifelike picture resolution to maximize their experience, ”said Dan Hastings, TV director Samsung Electronics.
A powerful ally for Samsung
Users will be able to download the app from the dedicated Samsung store.
Note that the application will only be available on the 2018, 2019 and 2020 models of Samsung Smart TVs, as well as on the Smart Monitor.
The Korean manufacturer has also indicated that TikTok will be pre-installed on all of its future televisions.
By signing with TikTok, Samsung is offering itself a nice partnership.
The social network has indeed been particularly popular for several years and its success continues to grow.
We can still wonder what the appearance of a TV version of the application will bring.
It's hard to imagine that TikTok users - quite young - could turn to their TVs to enjoy the videos in the app.
