ByteDance Ltd, the parent company of TikTok, has announced plans to shut down TikTok Music, its music streaming service, in November 2024, to focus on driving greater music listening by partnering with music streaming services rather than competing with them.
According to reports, subscribers can continue using the service until November 28, after which renewals will be automatically canceled. Users also have until October 28, 2024, to transfer their playlists to other streaming services.
The report further mentions that in February, the company launched the “Add to Music” feature that allows users to add tracks directly to a playlist on Apple Music, Amazon Music, or Spotify, which will foster the transition.
