While the short video sharing application is undeniably the most popular social media application for all engaging content, some new updates can bewilder the users. The new feature simply means that if the user wishes to continue seeing other people’s photos and videos, they have to share their own videos on the platform first.

Further, users will be getting daily prompts so that they can stay connected with their friends and favorite creators' content. Additionally, to use this feature, users need to be above 13 years of age. Also, for people from South Korea or Indonesia, the age limit to access this feature would be 14 years.

For those who wish to know how to enable this feature, it is crucial to know that once you update the application, the feature will be auto-activated. This means that there will be no need to update the feature or indulge in any steps.

Those who wish to update the application to get hold of the new feature can navigate to their App Store or Google Play Store and check out the updates available in the “downloaded apps” section.

Netizens have shared mixed responses after the short video sharing application rolled out its new feature “post to view.” While some are agitated, others are calling out TikTok for copying BeReal, another social media application that runs on a similar model.

Users are also pointing out that the kind of notifications sent across by the app is also similar for both BeReal and TikTok.

Needless to say, netizens aren't happy with the new update and the feature, and it remains to be seen what the makers of the app have to say about the comparisons.
