TikTok Launches Video Tag Feature for Easier Searching
(TikTok Launches Video Tag Feature for Easier Searching)
TikTok announced a new feature today. The feature lets creators add searchable tags to their videos. This update aims to make finding specific content much simpler for users worldwide. The rollout starts immediately.
Creators can now add tags directly when uploading a video. They can also add tags to existing videos. Tags act like keywords. They describe the video’s main topics or themes. Examples include #CookingTips, #GamingFun, or #TravelDiaries. Users searching for these terms will see relevant tagged videos grouped together.
This change helps people find videos they care about faster. Before, searching relied heavily on text in captions or general hashtags. The new tag system offers a more direct path to niche interests. It surfaces content users might otherwise miss.
For creators, the tag feature offers better discovery. Adding accurate tags increases the chance their videos appear in relevant searches. This could lead to more views from interested audiences. It helps new creators connect with viewers looking for their specific content.
“Tags give creators a powerful new tool,” stated a TikTok spokesperson. “They help connect great content with the people who want to see it most. This makes search smarter and more useful for everyone.”
Using the feature is straightforward. Creators find the tag option in the video posting menu. They type in relevant words or phrases. TikTok suggests popular tags as they type. Creators select the best fits for their video. There is a limit to how many tags one video can have.
The tags appear discreetly below the video caption. Viewers can tap on a tag to see all other public videos using that same tag. This creates instant collections around shared topics.
