TikTok testing new tipping feature for some creators

San Francisco: Short video platform TikTok is experimenting with a new tool that allows its users to tip some creators directly on their profiles.

According to a video of the tips feature shared this week by TikTok creator Jera Bean, who noticed the feature in-app and applied for approval, any money tipped to creators will go directly to that individual, The Verge reported.

A screenshot of the application screen stated that to qualify for the feature, accounts must be in good standing on the platform, have at least 1,00,000 followers, meet an age requirement and agree to TikTok’s tips terms.
