TikTok will cease its music streaming service starting November 28, just two years after parent company ByteDance sought to enter the competitive landscape alongside giants like Spotify (NYSE:SPOT) and Apple Music. This decision is seen as a significant shift in the music streaming sector.

To aid users during this transition, TikTok promotes the “Add to Music App” feature. This tool enables users to save songs they encounter on TikTok to their chosen music streaming platforms, ensuring that their musical discoveries remain accessible.

Additionally, users have until October 28 to transfer their playlists to other services. This timeline allows for a smooth transition, helping users maintain access to their favorite tracks without interruption.
