Wow looks and sounds awesome! Also YouTube said it’s on its way
I don't use this app but I like in the first screenshot how they moved the overlaid icons to a floating panel so they don't obstruct the video content. Why didn't they do the same for the other screens where the 'comments' and 'profile' windows are on the side? The floating panel could have been in between those windows so the buttons are not on top of the content.
This is relevant. No matter what you or I think about the app, it’s a big deal and I think a big vote of confidence for the product.
I meant to say relevant productivity apps.
But you are correct, and if this TikTok app helps promote AVP adoption, I'm all for it. Not that I'm going to use it, but I see the benefit of this app being released for the AVP.
Vision Pro, barely 1 month old, has the most popular 3rd party social media app native release.
Quest almost 5 years old, has zero native social media app despite being 1st party (Instagram/WhatsApp, only web app)

yesssssssss this is gonna be totally fine and normal for people’s brains let’s goooooooooooooo
It has nothing to do with “confidence in the product”
TikTok just wants to be everywhere and bleeding everyone’s brain and energy dry, wherever they happen to be.
This is like saying it’s a vote of confidence if a major casino app came to the AVP
Experiencing cancer (metaphorically) will be more immersive then ever
Failed dead on arrival headset and that app designed to kill brain cells of users while uploading their data to CCP. What a fantastic combo!
Now you can be a Zombie while watching other Zombies.
How do you swipe between videos? Do you have to fling the screen upwards, like normal scrolling? They should have made a button or a simple gesture, so you don't have to do all that work to switch videos.
They sold about 200,000 headsets already.
Who was it who just said in another forum "The thing that Meta gets with the Quest is that you won't get a great software ecosystem if the install base isn't large and with a chance for lots of growth. i.e. The lone product entry can't be nearly $4000 because nobody (effectively) will buy it and thus developers won't target it."
Oh right. You.
Well Tik Tok targeted the AVP and TikTok has surpassed X (Twitter), Telegram, Reddit, Pinterest, and Snapchat in monthly active users. But Ok TikTok is different from other developers because they want to be everywhere? Because other developers dont want to be everywhere? I am trying to figure out how to stretch your one claim to cover your other claim.
Besides Tik Tok seeing the value in this now small installed base, I think it might also signal, 'hey, this wasn't that hard to code.' i.e. they did it because it wasnt hard to do. And that might convey a message to other developers.
This did happen pretty quickly. Considering the Educational applications use in China... uh'humm... However the education of children via *ik*ok is one choice I thankfully avoid via never downloading the app.
Also thankful to see less "sharing" of materials through the platform, I've seen a drop in sources and instead seeing them posted directly to Lemmy or Mastodon, yesnother "scrolling" app, though, with a little higher content level.
Disagree, it’s not on the Quest 3 and that’s been around for ages.
Congrats! One of the best things I did for my health, moved to Lemmy from whatever that other group was, *eddit. Now I bump into a few items on Lemmy I'm interested in, or things get cross shared, and the memes are at a generalized level. The former platform after 13 years had become a "hunt for anything new" and it was addictive.
Now that we have tiktok I'm definitely not returning my Vision Pro on Friday /s
I can’t think of anything less appealing than watching flat 2D TikToks in a dork helmet.
It sure is amusing watching the world slap Tim Cook in the face over this idiotic device.
