The makers of TikTok are testing a new swipe-to-skip streaming music app

TikTok owner ByteDance has just started testing its music streaming app, Resso, in India and Indonesia. The TikTok-styled app was quietly released at the end of the last month.

A report from Bloomberg suggests the app was initially launched six months ago and has garnered over 27,000 users. Now, it's available on the Google Play Store and the App Store in these countries. The app is free to use with a premium tier offering at Rs. 119 ($1.68) – the same as Spotify.

YEAH!

I've spent a couple of hours with the app, and it clearly isn't anything like traditional music apps. It follows TikTok's design principles – you have to just swipe up to change songs.

You'll also see a video or a GIF playing in the background –just like TikTok videos – with lyrics displayed on the screen. You can also choose from multiple videos for the same song. While some songs have official videos available, you can also select some user-generated videos. It almost feels like you're in a Karaoke bar.

The app also has a very unique sharing UI. After you tap the share button, you can choos
