TikTok is shuttering Notes, its little-known Instagram rival

TikTok is shutting down Notes, its photo-sharing app in Australia and Canada. In a notification to users, the TikTok Notes team says the app will stop working starting May 8th, and “all related features will no longer be available.” It also recommended users switch to Lemon8, another social platform from ByteDance, TikTok’s parent company.

According to The Verge, TikTok first rolled out Notes in April of last year, which lets users share photos alongside a caption, as well as scroll through a “For You” feed with recommended content. The app was initially rolled out in limited testing to Australia and Canada.
