TikTok could be stepping on Google's toes by launching its own search widget for iPhone. From now on, users will be able to search the social network without having to open the application.

iPhone owners can now add a shortcut to use TikTok directly on their home screen. Specifically, they can add a search widget that allows them to search for content, similar to Google's search bar widget, without having to launch the TikTok application.
