TikTok is reportedly developing a peer-to-peer payment feature that would allow users to send money through direct messages, similar to X’s X Money feature. The planned feature uses TikTok Pay, the company’s existing payment service in Southeast Asia for purchases made through TikTok Shop. The feature references were found in hidden code within the current version of TikTok’s U.S. iPhone app.
Recipients would be able to "tap to accept" a payment, while senders could attach a message to the transaction. However, TikTok reportedly is not currently testing the feature, indicating it is still in an early stage of development. It is unclear when the feature could launch or if the company will release it widely. TikTok has been gradually expanding beyond traditional social media, offering features like search, TikTok Shop, local discovery map, games, and hotel bookings.
Adding peer-to-peer payments would make TikTok more directly competitive with payment platforms like Venmo and Zelle.
