What is TikTok’s Discover List? App releases new creator spotlight

TikTok is known all across the internet as a hive for creative content of all kinds — and now, the platform is celebrating its creators with a unique page to show off their talents.

TikTok’s ‘For You Page’ has introduced users to a slew of hilarious and jaw-dropping videos for some time now. It’s one of the top places where content creators go viral online, and it’s a great way to get noticed.

However, the app is now adding another way for users to get introduced to its trendsetting influencers who are changing the cultural landscape of the net — and it’s coming very soon.

What is TikTok’s new Discover List?

TikTok is unleashing a brand-new ‘Discover List’ to shine a proverbial spotlight on rising creators who are making waves on the internet.

The Discover List will feature several categories for these creators, including Innovators, Foodies, Changemakers, and more.

“Creators are the heart and soul of TikTok,” the company says of its new list. “From the pioneers driving change, to the tastemakers whipping up one-of-a-kind creations in the kitchen, to the trendsetters originating cultural moments, we’re honored that such an incredible group of creators have found a home on TikTok.”
