TikTok Enhances Comment Features with Voice, Polls, and Photo Carousels
TikTok is rolling out new features for its comment section globally, including voice comments, polls, photo carousels, and Live Photos. These updates aim to increase user engagement by transforming the comment area into a more interactive space where users can linger and communicate beyond just leaving feedback. Voice comments allow users to record up to one minute of audio directly in the comment box, with content moderation handled through existing Community Guidelines using both human review and automated tools like speech-to-text. Polls now enable creators to engage their audience by letting them vote on topics such as video ideas or outfit choices. Photo carousel comments let users post multiple images at once, while Live Photos add motion previews. The features are being rolled out globally over the next month for users aged 18 and older.
