TikTok周三表示，它将推出一个新的本地内容推荐流，根据用户的精确地理位置数据，展示来自附近商家和服务的视频。
该公司在一份声明中称，社交媒体平台用户现在将在应用程序中看到一个名为”本地”的新标签，该标签会展示与附近旅行、活动、餐厅、购物相关的内容，以及本地创作者的帖子。该本地标签不会出现在18岁以下用户、私人账号用户，或隐私设置设为”仅朋友可见”或”仅自己可见”的账号中。
这一服务的推出是在TikTok于1月份因更新隐私政策而遭到批评之后。该政策称，如果用户在设备设置中启用位置服务，TikTok可能会收集用户设备的”精确位置信息”。一些用户称这种数据收集”具有侵入性”，尽管TikTok的条款中指出，用户可以在设置中关闭地理位置跟踪。
周三，TikTok强调分享地理位置数据是自愿的，并且其他应用程序也依赖类似的用户信息。
TikTok表示：”这种方式与许多现代应用程序当前使用位置信息的方式一致，让人们可以选择在何时希望获得更相关的本地体验，同时让他们保持控制权。”
TikTok称，地理位置跟踪默认设置为”关闭”，一旦开启，仅在应用程序使用时才会激活。
这家社交媒体服务于1月份推出了新的隐私政策，同日它与原所有者中国字节跳动完成了业务剥离。TikTok的新所有者包括软件制造商甲骨文公司、私募股权公司银湖以及总部位于阿布扎比的投资公司MGX，它们共同持有该公司45%的股份。
TikTok的另外35%股份由包括戴尔首席执行官迈克尔·戴尔个人投资办公室在内的八位其他投资者持有。字节跳动将保留19.9%的业务，略低于联邦法律允许的20%的所有权上限。

TikTok to launch local feed that taps users’ geolocation data
February 11, 2026 / 12:37 PM EST / CBS News
TikTok said Wednesday it’s rolling out a new local feed that shows videos from nearby businesses and services based on users’ precise geolocation data.
Users of the social media platform will now see a new tab on their app called “Local” that leads to content related to nearby travel, events, restaurants and shopping, as well as posts from local creators, the company said in a statement. The local tab won’t appear in accounts owned by people younger than 18, those who have a private account or who set their privacy settings to “friends” or “only you,” it added.
The service is rolling out after TikTok drew backlash in January when it updated its privacy policy to state that it may collect “precise location information” from users’ devices if they enable location services in their device settings. Some users described such data collection as “invasive,” although TikTok’s terms noted that people could turn off the geolocation tracking in their settings.
On Wednesday, TikTok emphasized that sharing geolocation data is voluntary and that other apps rely on similar information about their users.
“This approach is consistent with how many modern apps use location today and gives people the choice to enable it when they want more relevant, local experiences, while keeping them in control,” TikTok said.
TikTok said that geolocation tracking is set to “off” by default and, if turned on, will only be active when the app is in use.
The social media service rolled out the new privacy policy in January on the same day that it split from its prior owner, China-based ByteDance. TikTok’s new ownership includes software maker Oracle, private equity firm Silver Lake and Abu Dhabi-based investment firm MGX, which together own a combined 45% of the company.
Another 35% stake in TikTok is owned by eight other investors, including Dell CEO Michael Dell’s personal investment office. ByteDance will retain 19.9% of the business, just below the 20% ownership cap allowed under federal law.
