ByteDance has confirmed the discontinuation of TikTok Notes, a photo-sharing app, which will be unavailable after May 8. Launched last year, TikTok Notes aimed to provide a photo-centric experience but failed to achieve expected user adoption despite being available in several countries. The company has since directed users to its similar platform, Lemon8, which features an Instagram-like interface and has seen considerable success with 12.5 million daily active users. This move reflects ByteDance's strategy to consolidate its offerings in the competitive social media landscape.
