Jakarta - TikTok officially closed its service called TikTok Notes on May 8, 2025 after being tested in Canada, Australia, and Vietnam last year.
TikTok Notes was originally intended to be a competitor to Instagram as a photo-sharing application and with the closure of this service, its users were directed to switch to ByteDance's Lemon8 service.
As reported by TechCrunch, Monday (1/4), the closure of TikTok Notes is actually not surprising considering that Lemon8 is quite similar and offers the same functionality.
“We’re excited to bring feedback from TikTok Notes to Lemon8 as we continue to build a dedicated space for our community to share and experience photo content, designed to complement and enhance the TikTok experience,” a TikTok spokesperson said of the service’s shutdown and user transition to Lemon8.
