TikTok is piloting a 24 hour vanishing video feature. This isn’t anything new to social media with other the top tech companies already including the functionality.
This is in a very early test phase and TikTok haven’t confirmed whether it will result in a public launch. This is likely to depend on whether users embrace it (like Instagram stories), or ignore it, like Twitter’s recently cancelled Fleets.

TikTok has patented TikTok music which leads to the possibility of a music platform, a distributor or shop. This could make TikTok a competitor to Apple music and Spotify as a new contender in the streaming business.
