TikTok has released a standalone app for TikTok Shop in a few countries, as spotted by social media consultant Matt Navarra. According to its App Store listing, the TikTok Shop app offers:

- Personalized picks inspired by your interests

- LIVE streams & short videos to see products in action

- App-only deals, free shipping offers & exclusive first-order benefits that make every order feel worth it

- Secure payments for safe checkout

- Easy order tracking & 24/7 support from purchase to delivery

But it appears the app, which is also available on Android, hasn’t launched widely yet. Navarra says it’s currently listed in Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia, and the Philippines, and not in the UK or US App Store. (I’m personally not seeing it on the US App Store on my iPhone.) Still, the fact that the dedicated app exists at all could signal that TikTok is planning to make an even bigger push into online shopping.

TikTok didn’t immediately reply to a request for comment.
