TikTok tweaks its UI for big screens while Instagram still has no iPad app.

TikTok announced that the updated app will take better advantage of tablet and foldable screen real estate by pushing overlaid text to the side. The app also now works in portrait or landscape mode for devices where it didn’t previously, the company wrote.

Tablets and foldables might actually be the best way to watch TikTok now.
