TikTok’s function that keeps users updated on real-time events or ongoing processes directly from their lock screen or dynamic island, without needing to open the application, is an added convenience for the social media user. An example includes tracking the progress of a food delivery or following the score of a live sporting event.
This feature offers users increased convenience and accessibility by streamlining the flow of information. Historically, individuals had to constantly check the application for updates. Now, pertinent information is displayed proactively, reducing the time spent navigating the app and potentially increasing user satisfaction.
