TikTok filed a trademark application in May for “TikTok Music”, sparking speculation over whether the short-form video platform is seeking to broaden into music streaming.
It would not be the first foray into music streaming for TikTok’s parent company, Chinese-owned ByteDance.
In 2020 the Chinese company launched Resso, a “social music streaming app” in India.
ByteDance also acquired social media service Musical.ly in 2017, which it merged with TikTok in 2018, spawning global popularity of the app.
