The Chinese social network is testing a new, simpler and stripped-down interface. It is true that currently the videos are covered with elements that can confuse the user.
Creator avatar, like button, comments, collection, share button, search button, account name, description or the sound used, not to mention the five buttons in the menu bar at the bottom of the screen: in short , there is clearer and simpler than the TikTok interface.
But the social network seems to realize it. This is why a “light mode” is currently being tested. As the consultant Matt Navarra announced on his Twitter account, this mode would hide these elements in order to keep only the video.
