The section within the TikTok application dedicated to facilitating connections with known individuals enables users to find and interact with content from people they recognize. This area typically displays a feed of videos created by those the user follows, fostering a personalized viewing experience centered on established relationships.
This feature promotes stronger user engagement by prioritizing content from familiar sources, which can lead to increased time spent on the platform and a greater sense of community. Historically, this function evolved to move away from solely algorithm-driven content, allowing users to deliberately curate a network of individuals whose content they wish to view consistently. Its benefits include an enhanced feeling of connection, personalized content, and a control over the users viewing experience.
