Over the last six months TikTok's parent company ByteDance has been testing a music app, Bloomberg reports.
The app is called "Resso," and has been rolled out in India and Indonesia. India in particular has been a booming market for TikTok, with Indian users making up 31% of the app's total downloads.
Unlike more mainstream music-streaming apps, Resso displays real-time lyrics alongside songs and allows users to leave comments on individual tracks. According to Bloomberg users can also make music-accompanied gifs and videos, reminiscent of the lip-syncing feature which made TikTok so popular amongst teens.
Short-form video app TikTok has become a major threat to dominant US social media companies, most notably Facebook. Now that ByteDance — which was valued at $75 billion last year — has thrown its weight behind a new music app, dominant music-streaming services like Spotify and Apple Music have good reason to worry.
