TikTok Introduces TikTok Now
This Feature Encourages Users to Share One Post Per Day at an Exact Time.
A new instantaneous photo/video experience feature is now available — introducing TikTok Now! Similar to BeReal, this gives you another way to share authentic moments using your device’s front and back camera simultaneously. The main difference between the two apps is TikTok Now has the ability to capture either a static photo or a 10-second video of what you’re up to. The “Now” option will appear on the latest version of the TikTok app.
Snapchat From Any Device, Anywhere, Anytime
A Fresh New Feature in Time for Fall.
Since launching in 2011, Snapchat has been home to countless video features and many forms of entertainment. Now, the company has another way to keep conversations going across devices: Snapchat for Web. The web version of the social media platform has all the favorite features, including Chat Reactions, Chat Reply and Lenses — which will all roll out soon. To access Snapchat for Web, simply log onto www.web.snapchat.com and enter your credentials.

Another Way to Connect with Your Community in Real Time through Text, Audio or Video.
