Search blogger by video
If you are interested in the author of the video you like, but you do not know how to find an account and watch his other works, you just need to click on the profile picture on the right side of the screen. The blogger’s profile will open immediately.
You can also click on the username, which is located above the description and begins with the “@” symbol.
There are special push signals, thanks to which you can receive notifications about new tiktoker videos. To do this, open the settings (“Push notifications”). Now make sure that the “Videos from people you follow” section is activated. If the signals do not come, then try updating the application or restarting the device.
Recognition of a person on video
Recently, Tik Tok began testing a new feature that will allow you to recognize a person from a video. It will be located on the right side of the screen above the author’s profile picture. The user only has to go to the “Search” section and drag the triangle to the desired part of the picture. The result of the analysis will instantly appear (links to places where there is a selected item will appear).
For example, if you drag the frame and select a T-shirt, a list of marketplaces where you can buy a similar thing will appear.
If you follow the instructions given, you will easily find what you want and not drown in a sea of diverse content that is not always needed.
