In a statement to The Verge, TikTok said, "We're always looking for ways to improve the user experience on TikTok. We are currently testing profile designs and functionality to ultimately give users more ways to personalize and engage with their profiles."

There is no word on whether TikTok will actually introduce the redesign to all users. TikTok is experimenting with more features. It was recently reported that TikTok is working on a new curated feed similar to Snapchat's Discover. This new feed is said to boost advertising revenue on TikTok. It will not remove the current feed on TikTok but work as an additional one.
