TikTok’s parent company launches Resso, a music app, in India and other emerging markets

TikTok’s parent company ByteDance has launched a Spotify competitor music app, Resso. The app has been released in emerging markets that are familiar with TikTok.

If you live in India or Indonesia, the music app is now available in these countries. The app is available on iOS and Android, and during its initial test run of 6 months, it was already installed by about 27,000 users.

Resso’s user interface is pretty clean and the app does not seem like a test version but seems more like a final product. Unlike Spotify, Resso also displays real-time lyrics of the song and lets users post comments on the songs.
