Live battles are a common occurrence in the live stream section on TikTok, with users going up against each other to win the battles, but it’s leaving some users confused.
Since the platform introduced live battles in live streams, gifts are now used to help creators win the live battles. But what exactly are battles on TikTok?
What are battles on TikTok?
TikTok LIVE Battles are one of the newer ways that streamers can entertain you. In these battles, streamers compete with one another and solicit donations from those watching.
The battles consist of users taking advantage of the LIVE Match mode, which puts two users against one another and declares a winner based on which user can draw the most TikTok gifts in five minutes.
However, most of the money earned from the battles doesn’t go to the streamers. TikTok takes as much as 70 percent of the money being donated to a particular streamer, while the streamer themself receives the remaining 30% of the total amount donated to them.
However, this hasn’t stopped creators or fans from taking part in the battles, as they’re a daily occurrence on the app, with some users earning thousands of dollars from them.
This is just one of the latest trends to go viral on TikTok. The ‘eye color bracelet’ trendhas couples making matching bracelets for each other. Meanwhile, another trend sees people askinghow many likes they need to get on a videofor their partner or parents to buy them something, whether it’s the new NCAA video game, a puppy, or even tickets to a concert.
