Tik tok update. Do not update your Tik Tok. They have it where it looks like Instagram now, which you know is gonna be more cringeyness looking at the followers and so on and so forth. Tik Tok has changed into basically the Instagram layout. And the search bar should be right here. Let me know in the comment areas if you updated it or if you changed it. It just happened within the last 24 to 48 hours. It ain't happened to mine yet and I ain't gonna do it.
