Big tech’s push to become super-services often risks diluting their core identity, and TikTok’s pivot toward communication tools might not resonate if it fails to address user expectations for privacy and functionality. As ByteDance experiments with new directions, the success of this feature — and any forthcoming messenger — will depend on whether it can offer more than a trendy add-on.
