TikTok is rolling out a feature that lets users build shared libraries of videos — called Shared Collections — and is testing a new “Shared Feeds” mode that suggests content tailored for two people instead of one. The idea is to make video-saving and discovery more collaborative: instead of each person bookmarking or saving separate videos, friends or family can pool finds into one shared collection. That makes it easier to plan together: whether it’s travel ideas, funny clips, recipes, or just a shared list of favorite videos.
With Shared Collections, only mutually following users can collaborate, and both parties can add or remove clips. Collections can stay private or be visible to others. This is especially useful for small groups or duos working on common projects or just curating shared interests — no more shifting links through chats or trying to keep track of who saved what.
The upcoming Shared Feeds option goes a step further. Instead of personalized feeds per user, this mode blends interests of two linked profiles to serve a combined recommendation list — a shortlist of videos the algorithm thinks both might enjoy. The feed isn’t infinite scroll; it’s a curated batch delivered periodically, and viewers can see which videos both of them liked — offering a social, shared watching experience.
This shift points to TikTok trying to evolve beyond solo browsing. By embedding tools for shared discovery and collaboration, it encourages social usage: family members, friends, roommates, or couples can browse together, exchange ideas inside the app, and keep a shared digital “scrapbook.” For creators, it could amplify reach through shared saves; for regular users, it simplifies collaborative video curation.
If widely adopted, these changes could reshape how people consume and collect content on TikTok — from a personal feed to shared interest hubs. It’s a small adjustment in functionality, but a big step toward turning casual viewing into a collective, social experience.
