If you want to fast forward a TikTok on your iPhone, you have a few options. For example, you can use the Progress Bar feature, which will give you an idea of how much longer the video is. You can also use the slider option, which will change the speed of the playback.
ByteDance
The Chinese government has been concerned about the potential misuse of the video-sharing site TikTok, and this is a major concern for the company, which is based in the Cayman Islands. Although it is a private company, ByteDance is regulated under Chinese law, and some of its investors are Chinese. Nevertheless, some analysts believe that ByteDance’s activities are linked to the Chinese Communist Party.
The company, founded by Zhang Yiming, struggled with the initial launch of many applications, but eventually gained success with more than 100 million users in late 2016. After the initial success of Douyin, ByteDance decided to enter the foreign market and grew its user base.
While Facebook has an excellent commitment to its users, TikTok doesn’t share that commitment. US President Donald Trump has threatened to ban the platform in the United States by the end of September 2020. He has also issued executive orders against Chinese technology companies, including ByteDance. The ban was a major blow to the parent company, ByteDance. As a result, Microsoft and Oracle emerged as potential buyers. Both companies were interested in buying ByteDance because of its massive user data store.
TikTok seek bar
The TikTok seek bar is rolling out to all users. This new feature allows users to move forward and backward in a video with a simple drag of their finger. However, it is only available on videos that are longer than three minutes. Users who upload short videos will still have to scroll down to see the progress bar.
In some rare cases, the search bar may not work. This can be caused by outdated software, faulty servers, or slow network connections. Another possible reason for the issue is the TikTok team performing system maintenance. Sometimes, the app may have unexpected issues, so it may be a good idea to open the app on a different device.
The TikTok seek bar is more interactive than the search bar on Google, because the users themselves suggest content. It also lets Gen Z-ers crowdsource suggestions from TikTok movies. This lets them cull content and verify suggestions based on their feedback. This will make it easier for them to find the content they’re looking for and make the right choices.
Although the TikTok seek bar is still a relatively new feature, it is already the most downloaded app among 18 to 24-year-olds. With a search bar, users can search for a video by typing in a keyword or phrase that they’re searching for. The search bar also displays a link to local content in Southeast Asia.
