What Is TikTok Photo Mode?
In October 2022, TikTok introduced a new feature called Photo Mode that allows users to put multiple still photos in a post just similar to the Instagram carousel post.
TikTok Photo Mode lets users upload up to 35 pictures from the phone’s photo gallery, and they will display one after another. Then, users can add music to these images. Also, they can use the other tools on the screen to edit the images one by one instead of the whole series.
In the meantime, TikTok also launched some enhanced editing tools to give users more freedom to show their creativity and share their stories. These improved tools allow users to stack, trim, and split videos, set the duration of sounds, add photo & video overlays, edit the text position, adjust video speed, add sound effects, etc.
