LOS ANGELES: TikTok is now letting users share info and services through third-party partners – which also gives the short-form video app another revenue stream.

The app company, owned by Chinese Internet giant ByteDance, on Monday announced TikTok Jump, a program that lets developers create mini-programs and services for TikTok users to link to from their videos. During the beta-testing period for TikTok Jump, early partners have included Wikipedia, Whisk (recipes), Breathwrk (breathing exercises), Quizlet (flashcards), StatMuse (sports stats) and Tabelog (Japanese restaurant guide).
