ByteDance to shut down Tiktok Music globally

ByteDance, Tiktok’s parent company, has reportedly shut down Tiktok Music (its music streaming service) globally starting November 28.

The company is now encouraging its users to take advantage of the “Add to Music App” option that lets users save songs they discover on TikTok to their preferred music streaming service.

ByteDance is now directing platform users to transfer playlists to other services.

The company founded Tiktok Music to compete with the likes of Spotify (SPOT) and Apple Music (AAPL).
