TikTok Takes a Bold Step: New 'Reviews' Tab Aims to Compete with Google Maps
In an effort to enhance its search functionality, TikTok has introduced a new 'Reviews' tab within the comments section of select videos, allowing users to access reviews and ratings for tagged locations without leaving the app. This feature, currently in testing, enables viewers to see user-generated star ratings, written reviews, and photos directly beneath video comments. As TikTok expands its capabilities to rival Google’s dominance in search, it has already become a preferred platform for place searches among younger audiences. The company has not confirmed plans for a wider rollout of this feature.
