TikTok may launch paid subscription that removes ads from the social network

TikTok paves the way for this an ad-free plan on your platformWhat Android Authority this Monday (2) on a discovery. It costs $4.99 per month (just over R$25 in direct conversion). It is in testing phase in the United States.

The innovation was spotted by the technology website based on codes in the short video application. Found a message saying:

“We are testing the ad-free plan with the TikTok community. By continuing, you agree to {%s}’s terms and acknowledge that you have read our {%s} document to learn how we collect, use and share data. You also agree to: instant ad-free subscription. Priced VAT included.”

The platform will continue to offer a free experience in addition to the paid plan, without any changes.

TikTok may follow social media trend

It’s worth noting that the short video platform hasn’t formalized the ad-free plan yet, so it’s possible that everything is just in the testing phase. The site tried to display information from different accounts but failed on all of them. It’s also important to note that the $4.99 price may not be the end-all be-all.

Although it heralds many new developments among social media applications, everything indicates that TikTok is following a trend that is already common among other platforms.

For example, YouTube already offers a subscription that removes ads from videos. Since TikTok was recently fined R$790 million for neglecting the privacy of minors, this option could make life easier for the app.
