• stickers: You can select stickers related to your content and add them to the post.
• Tags and hashtags: As with a video or photo, you can tag other accounts or add related hashtags.
• Background colors: You can choose from a variety of background colors to enhance your text post.
• Adding sound: Sound is an important part of TikTok, and you can add it to your text messages to decorate your posts with music that your readers can listen to as they check your words.
• Draft and Reset: Save your drafts and store them with other unpublished posts for later editing or permanent deletion.
