TikTok adds £3.99 no-ads subscription in the UK
TikTok has launched a £3.99 per month subscription service in the UK that removes ads from the platform. Users who do not subscribe will continue to see personalized advertisements by default.
Key Takeaways
- The UK subscription costs £3.99 per month and removes ads from TikTok.
- Users who do not subscribe can keep using TikTok for free.
- Free users will continue to see personalized advertisements by default.
- The new offer gives TikTok a paid alternative to its ad-supported experience.
