(TikTok Tests “Predictive Trends” Feature Using AI to Forecast Viral Content)

The company is running a limited test now. Only some users can see “Predictive Trends”. These users are primarily creators and marketers. The feature appears inside TikTok’s Creative Center. It shows lists of topics expected to gain popularity. These forecasts cover different time periods.

TikTok says its AI analyzes many signals. It looks at current content performance. It examines user search behavior. It also considers rising hashtags and sounds. The AI combines this data to spot patterns. Then it makes predictions about future viral hits.

The goal is to give creators a head start. Knowing likely trends helps them plan content. Businesses can adjust marketing strategies faster. TikTok believes this makes the platform more useful. It could lead to more relevant content for everyone.

Some creators welcome the idea. They say forecasting helps them stay ahead. Others express caution about relying on predictions. TikTok emphasizes the feature is experimental. Accuracy is not guaranteed. User feedback will shape its future development.

Facebook now gives users more power over comments. The company announced a new feature today. This feature lets people limit who can comment on their public posts. Facebook calls this tool “Comment Controls.”

People choose who can comment. They pick from options. Options include everyone, friends, or only profiles mentioned in the post. This helps manage interactions. It aims to reduce unwanted comments.

The setting appears when someone makes a new public post. Users find it below the post text box. They click a menu to select their preference. The choice applies only to that specific post. Users can change it later too.

The feature is available globally. It works on the Facebook app for Android and iOS. It also works on the Facebook website. Facebook plans to add it to more platforms soon. The rollout starts today. All users should have access in the coming days.
