Popular app TikTok is developing a new social app called Whee for sharing photos and spontaneous life moments with close friends.
New resource
The essence of Whee
ByteDance, the creator of TikTok, is testing the Whee app. The new product is aimed at sharing photos and spontaneous moments of life with close friends. According to the developers, Whee provides the ability to take and share pictures that only the user's friends will see. In other words, we are talking about a kind of analogue of Instagram.
Availability
Whee is currently available for download on Google Play, but only for limited number of countries. The number of installations does not yet exceed 10+. In addition, Whee APK files are hosted on third-party resources.
TikTok's problems
Meanwhile, TikTok itself is facing serious problems in the US. Lawmakers are demanding that the app be blocked unless it is transferred to a new owner. A petition has also been launched in Ukraine to ban the social network due to its connections with China and the spread of disinformation and Russian propaganda. So far, the petition has received more than 11,000 votes out of the required 25,000.

I wonder why ByteDance decided to create a new application? 🤔 Isn't TikTok popular enough?

Perhaps they want to expand their business and reach more audiences. The new Whee app seems more geared toward close friends and family. 👪

Yes, this may be an attempt to create a more closed and private space for communication. But I doubt it can compete with Instagram or Snapchat. 🤷♂️

Did you notice that the description talks about “spontaneous moments in life”? 📷 Maybe it's some kind of real-time photo sharing tool?

Guys, don't forget that TikTok is facing serious challenges in the US and other countries due to data privacy concerns. 🕵️♂️ Perhaps Whee is their way of getting around these restrictions?

Is there too much fuss about this new app? 🙄 How many of these social networks have appeared and disappeared in recent years? I generally doubt that Whee will be successful.

I think this is just an attempt by ByteDance to capture another niche in social media. 💰 But I agree with @Yan that many new applications quickly lose popularity.

I wouldn't rush to judge. Remember how you once doubted the success of TikTok? 😉 If Whee comes up with something truly unique, it could be a hit. You'll just have to wait and see.
