New Delhi: Samsung Electronics and TikTok have announced a new app partnership that brings TikTok’s trending content into the home. TikTok will be exclusively available on Samsung Smart TVs in Europe, launching first for UK customers.
The new app has been specifically created for a home-viewing experience, allowing people to view the ‘For You’ and ‘Following’ feeds, as well as the majority of the most liked and viewed content on TikTok. This content has been organised into 12 categories covering everything from gaming and comedy, to food and animals. The entertainment doesn’t stop there though, as people can also view #LearnOnTikTok videos so they can get the latest cooking hacks, fitness tips, and fun facts that TikTok has to offer.
As many are now aware, it can be easy to start scrolling through TikTok on your phone late at night, then end up squinting at your device screen, bleary-eyed, at 3am, still giggling to yourself at the clips you come across. TikTok s algorithm-matching is very good at keeping you glued to the app, which can make for compulsive, small-screen viewing - but what if TikTok was actually available on your TV, like any other channel?
What if you could flip across and see a feed to your latest For You clips, on the big screen and from the comfort of your couch?

TikTok, the video sharing social network, is partnering with Samsung to launch a smart TV streaming app in Europe.
TikTok said its smart TV app was specifically designed for a home-viewing experience and that it allows users to view the ‘For You’ and ‘Following’ feeds along with the most liked and viewed content on TikTok. The content is organized into 12 categories including gaming, comedy, food and animals, and users can also view #LearnOnTikTok videos.
Users will be able to view, like and comment on trending videos, and will also be able to block or mark content they are not interested in, with TikTok automatically operating in Restricted Mode, a feature that filters out content that may not be appropriate for all audiences.
