"TikTok's New Photo App Takes Aim at Instagram's Dominance"

TikTok is reportedly working on a new photo-sharing app called "TikTok Photos," with code suggesting automatic syncing of photos from the main app. The leaked icon for the new app bears a resemblance to PayPal's logo, raising concerns about its design and functionality. This move comes after TikTok's previous attempt with Lemon8, a photo-sharing app, failed to gain traction in the U.S. If TikTok proceeds with the launch, it may need to reconsider the app's icon and the necessity of introducing a new photo app when its main platform already supports photo sharing.

This comes amid concerns about a potential ban on TikTok in the US, with the House of Representatives set to vote on a bill that could prohibit the platform. President Joe Biden has expressed support for the ban, citing concerns about user data being shared with the Chinese government.

Lapse: The Rising Challenger to Instagram's Dominance

Lapse, a new photo app, has gained popularity by offering a nostalgic experience reminiscent of analog photography. Users take photos within the app, which are then "developed" and can be shared with friends or kept private. Unlike Instagram, there are no visible likes, and reactions are expressed through emojis. Lapse aims to create a social media platform without the pressure of gaining followers or likes. While some users appreciate the app's nostalgic appeal, others have raised concerns about its invitation-only requirement and potential misuse of phone numbers. The app's rise on the Apple app chart suggests initial success, but its long-term sustainability remains uncertain.
