TikTok will let users share feeds in DMs

TikTok has launched a new feature called Shared Feed, which lets users share a curated feed with someone else via direct messaging. The feature enables friends and family to browse and enjoy content together based on their mutual interests, helping them stay connected.

Shared Feed provides a private chat with a daily selection of 15 videos tailored to both users’ tastes. The videos are generated from each person’s TikTok activity—likes, watches, and comments—so the feed reflects topics they both enjoy, such as sports, holiday activities, or fashion. To start, users simply initiate a shared feed in a direct message; the algorithm then delivers a daily dose of videos that both participants are likely to like. For example, two friends who love golf will receive golf‑related clips, while a couple might get recipe ideas for meal prep.

Within the direct‑message feed, users can interact with the videos by commenting, liking, or sending messages about them. If they decide they no longer want to participate, they can leave the shared feed at any time. This addition offers a new way to engage with TikTok content and connect with others who share similar interests, reflecting the platform’s push toward a more social, community‑focused experience. As social media continues to evolve, features like Shared Feed are poised to play an increasingly important role in shaping user interaction.
