Tiktok is launching new versions of the app called “Tiktok Pro” in Germany, Portugal and Spain. The app features Tiktok's new “Sunshine Program” that allows users to support charities.
Users can earn “Virtual Sunshine” by inviting others to join, repost videos, following charity accounts, and interacting with charitable content such as searching for charity activities. They can then use this virtual sunshine in charities. Tiktok then makes a donation to the organization.
It is worth noting that as reported on social media today, Tiktok Pro content is the same as content in the regular Tiktok app. The difference between the new and standard apps is that Tiktok Pro does not have live streams, shopping features, or ads.
Tiktok says the idea behind the new app is to “enable Europeans to discover engaging and entertaining Tiktok content while supporting charities.”
