TikTok brings its app to recent LG smart TVs

TikTok wants to reach a broader market and tap into higher advertising rates, at least that's what was reported before. So, it isn't surprising that the company is bringing its app to more TVs. This time, LG's 2020 and 2021 smart TVs running on webOS 5.0 and webOS 6.0 are getting the app now, while its 2019 models are expected to get it in the "coming months."

The app is launching in the UK, France, and Germany, where TikTok's already brought its app to Samsung TVs, Android TV, and Fire TV. We don't know how well received the app will be, given it's a portrait-oriented mobile app, for starters. But it's coming, whether you like it or not. Are you waiting for it to make its way here?

Select 2016 and 2017 LG smart TVs are getting a scaled-down version of the Apple TV+ app. The app is showing up in some countries in Europe. Its interface is similar to the standard Apple TV app, but it only has access to Apple TV+ content. You won't be able to access the iTunes Store and Watch Now tabs. There are only three tabs in the app: Apple TV+, Search, and Settings. 

The full Apple TV app lets you access Apple TV+ and à-la-carte ‌Apple TV‌ Channels, iTunes libraries, and buy or rent from the iTunes Store.
