TikTok has announced that its TikTok TV app will be available on Fire TV devices in the UK, France and Germany from today.
The app allows users to view and swipe through TikTok content on a larger display by bringing the service to Amazon’s Fire TV platform.
Fire TV users will be able see their ‘For You’ and ‘Following’ Tik Tok feeds on the big screen, as well as popular content on TikTok with high like and view counts. The videos span a variety of categories, including gaming, comedy, cooking, fitness and animals, so there’ll hopefully be something for the whole family if you intend on taking over the living room to watch the addictive bitesize videos.
The app will also showcase a new ‘Discover’ page – a personalised page designed to group together all of the newest trends and content on your TV screen.
The Discover page isn’t exclusive to Fire TV devices, with Samsung Smart TVs, Google TVs and Android TVs also due to receive the new feature through the TikTok TV app.
