You might finally be able to see that TikTok you weren't able to bookmark but wanted to see. TikTok is reportedly working on a new Watch History feature to make it easier to find what you've watched so far. It was spotted by Twitter user Hammod Oh and is accessible through the app's settings and privacy menu. The feature is being tested out, so you might not have access to it yet. The company gave its standard response when asked to comment by Mashable. It says it is "always thinking about new ways to bring value to our community and enrich the TikTok experience."

Before this, TikTok users have resorted to digging through the app's search function to spot previously viewed clips by toggling some filters. But this doesn't show TikToks chronologically, and you need to input a relevant search term. We don't know what the feature will look like if and when it rolls out, but it's certainly an essential feature for making the experience better on the app.

Many Canadian teens growing up in 1990s and early 2000 can recall the TV series STREET CENTS.

Now, the iconic Canadian show is returning for the social media savvy new generation. STREET CENTS TikTok has officially launched with a fresh group of dynamic content creators with a focus on making useful and fun daily short videos to help teens learn more about how to earn, spend, and save.

TikTok users, have you taken the time to view Stories on the platform? Yes? No? I don't either. So, that might be why the social network is testing out a way to show Stories on your For You feed. Social media consultant Matt Navarra shares a few details about this experiment, showing a video of a Story appearing on the For You page with a blue Story tag at the top of the user name.

TikTok's Story is similar to how it works on other social networks. The post vanishes after 24 hours. As 9to5Mac pointed out, the company calls the feature Quick within the camera mode. But since TikTok is just testing the feature out now, we aren't sure if the company plans to make it available to everyone. We had seen it try a repost option last month, but that doesn't look like it's rolled out to all users yet.
