Creators are the heart and soul of the TikTok community. Every day, they bring creativity, passion, and innovation to the platform, making TikTok a unique and engaging space for over a billion people around the world. In our continued commitment to support and empower creators on the TikTok platform, we are excited to introduce new ways for our community to share and experience photo content with new dedicated channels designed to elevate the TikTok experience. In addition to introducing TikTok Notes as a dedicated photo content app, the TikTok community will be able to directly access the Lemon8 app with their TikTok account. This account integration gives our community even more access to create, edit, upload, share photo content with like-minded communities for creative expression and connection.

Introducing Lemon8 to the TikTok Experience: A Hub for Authentic and Diverse Content

Lemon8 is dedicated to fostering a community where users can discover and share useful content related to beauty, fashion, travel, and more. It’s a space where authenticity and diversity are celebrated, providing a rich and supportive environment for inspiration, learning and idea-sharing.

Lemon8 provides unique creative tools, collages, filters, effects, stickers, and text templates that allows users to create vibrant posts in a supportive community. Lemon8 was first launched in Japan in 2020 and over the past 4 years, expanded to markets across the US and Southeast Asia.

Seamless Account Integration with Lemon8

While Lemon8 will remain a separate app, TikTok and Lemon8 will share a unified user login. This means that creators can use one account to login to both platforms, enhancing their ability to cross-share content between the two apps. This integration is designed to make photo sharing more feasible and fluid for all TikTok creators, expanding their reach and engagement potential.

Photo Sharing with TikTok

Since 2022, we've introduced new formats for photo content on TikTok, starting with photo posts, which allow creators to share multi-slide photo carousels. Since then, we've continued to experiment with new formats for sharing photo content. For example, in select markets earlier this year we started to test TikTok Notes, an app that allows people to share photo and text content in a dedicated space for those formats. Through these experiences, tests, and integrations, we aim to help creators share their photo content in fun, dynamic, and engaging ways.

A Commitment to Creativity and Community

At TikTok, we are committed to continuously evolving our platform to better serve our creators. The integration of Lemon8 and other photo sharing channels is a testament to our commitment to enhancing creators' experience. We believe these new tools will inspire greater creativity and community-building, benefiting everyone involved.

Lemon8 is available for download on the Google Play Store and Apple App Store, and TikTok users will easily be able to link their Lemon8 accounts to their TikTok profiles. We are committed to empowering our creators with the best tools and opportunities for authentic self-expression, and as we continue to refine the photo-sharing experience, we look forward to seeing how our community embraces these new, community-driven platforms. We can’t wait to witness how creators leverage Lemon8 and our other innovative photo-sharing tools to enhance their content creation journey!
