This was reported by Android Authority, which found a code within the app that suggests the plan. As per the screenshots shared by the publication, the new plan will remove ads from the platform for $4.99 per month.
After the report, TikTok confirmed to TechCrunch that it is testing the plan but only within a single, English-speaking market outside of the US. When asked for launch plans, TikTok made no official commitments and said that tests do not necessarily mean the product will launch.
