China-owned TikTok is reportedly testing a new feature that integrates Google Search within its app, a development that experts believe could significantly boost traffic and ad revenue for both the fanatically leftist American tech giant and its Chinese communist counterpart.
Business Insider reports that TikTok, the Chinese social media giant, is in the testing phases of a pioneering partnership with Google, aiming to enhance its search features. This integration was discovered by app researcher Radu Oncescu, who noted that some searches conducted within the TikTok app now present an option to extend the search on Google. This feature directs users to an in-app browser, showcasing Google’s search results for the respective query, creating a seamless and integrated user experience.
This partnership is not merely about enhancing user experience; it also has significant implications for user engagement and data collection. By enabling users to stay within the app for extended periods, TikTok can potentially tap into a wealth of data about its users’ search and browsing habits. This extensive data collection could be instrumental for TikTok in tailoring content and features to user preferences and behaviors, maximizing user engagement and satisfaction.
