FULL STORY
======================================================================

 TikTok has had a big impact on the world of music since it was launched back 
in 2016, and now its set to make its presence felt in the world of VR with a 
new native app for the Apple Vision Pro . Is there anything that TikTok cant 
do? 

In January, Ahmad Zahran, Product Leader at TikTok, revealed that a Vision 
Pro app was in the works , saying his team had designed a new TikTok 
experience for the Apple Vision Pro. Its reimagined interface takes you out 
of TikTok in Safari  which used to be the only way to access the platform on 
the Vision Pro  and into a new app version thats designed for the Vision Pros 
visionOS platform and takes full advantage of the headsets visual layout. 

Similar to the design of its iOS and Android apps, TikTok for visionOS has a 
vertical layout and includes the usual Like, Comment, Share, and Favorite 
icons. What sets TikToks visionOS app apart from its iOS and Android versions 
is its expanded interface designed for the Vision Pros widescreen view.

When you tap the icons in the navigation bar they appear as floating panes to 
the right of your For You page without interrupting the main video display, 
giving you a better view of comment sections and creator profiles. Better 
yet, the app is also compatible with Vision Pros Shared Space tool, allowing 
you to move TikTok to a different space in your headset view so that you can 
open other apps. 

If you really want to reap the benefits of using TikTok in the Vision Pro, 
you can immerse yourself even further by viewing content in the headsets 
integrated virtual environments  so you could enjoy your favorite clips on 
the surface of the Moon if thats your thing. 

If you thought TikTok was ubiquitous and immersive now, just wait  its 
already far too easy to get lost in the endless feed youre presented with in 
your phone, never mind having it take over the majority of your central view 
in a headset. 

There is one thing missing from the TikTok Vision Pro app: the ability to 
capture and create new videos. 

TikTok has also beaten Netflix and YouTube to the punch by arriving on the 
Vision Pro. While Netflix has no plans to launch a Vision Pro app right now, 
YouTube recently announced the app Juno  a service that lets you browse 
YouTube videos specifically for Apples latest and greatest device. @techradar
