Overview
- Apple Music subscribers can tap a new Play Full Song button on TikTok’s For You or Sound Detail pages to open an Apple Music player and hear full tracks without leaving the app.
- Full-track plays occur on Apple Music via MusicKit, with artists and rights holders compensated as they would be in the standalone service, and users can save songs to Your Music or add them to playlists.
- Apple Music is the first and only supported service for in-app full-song playback at launch, with no equivalent support for other streaming platforms.
- Listening Party introduces real-time, communal listening and chat inside TikTok, with initial artist participation curated and broader access expected over time.
- Both features are rolling out worldwide in the coming weeks as TikTok leans further into partnerships after winding down its separate TikTok Music service in 2024.
