According to the notification, users’ previous photo posts would be shared on TikTok Notes, a “new app for photo posts” that the firm is soon to launch. Additionally, users have the option to withhold their image posts from the new app.

TikTok claims it’s “exploring ways to empower our community to create and share their creativity with photos and text in a dedicated space for those formats”, but it didn’t specify when the app would be released.
