•TikTok is now available for Windows 10 and Windows 11.
•The app is a Progressive Web App (PWA), although it delivers the full functionality of the mobile apps.
•Later this year, Windows 11 users will also be able to install the Android version if they prefer.
Amongst the hubbub of Windows 11 arriving yesterday for those on the Windows Insider program (and qualifying hardware) was TikTok appearing in the Microsoft Store for Windows 10 and Windows 11.

The TikTok app, however, is quite helpful. Not only can you log into your account, but you can direct message others and even upload videos. There are also the usual functions like For You, Following, LIVE, and suggested accounts ensuring you can now waste hours at work when you should be using Microsoft Office.
