TikTok Now invites you and your friends to capture what you're doing in the moment using your device's front and back camera. You'll receive a daily prompt at the same time as your friends to capture a 10-second video or a static photo and share it with your friends.

A few things to know about TikTok Now:

• TikTok Now is available in both the TikTok app and the TikTok Now app. Depending on your region, you may have access to TikTok Now within TikTok, the TikTok Now app, or available in both apps. • You must post a TikTok Now before you can view your friends’ posts for that day. Your friends' posts will then be visible for a limited period of time. • You must be at least 13 years of age (or 14 in South Korea and Indonesia) to use TikTok Now. • Users aged 18 years and older will be given a 3-minute window to take a TikTok Now. Users aged 13 to 17 years won't be given a time limit to take a TikTok Now.
