TikTok created this feature to encourage users to get outside. The company hopes it promotes exploring beaches and coastal areas. People enjoy searching for sea glass. Finding real sea glass takes patience and luck. This new feature offers a fun, digital version of that hobby. Users can virtually collect different colors and shapes of glass. The virtual collection grows as users find more pieces.
The feature works like a game. Users open the feature within the TikTok app. They point their phone camera at sand, rocks, or near water. Virtual sea glass pieces pop up on the screen. Users tap the screen to collect these virtual items. Each collected piece gets added to their personal virtual collection. They can see their collection grow over time. The app tracks how many pieces they find.
Sea glass is real glass weathered by the ocean. Waves and sand smooth the glass edges over many years. Collectors value finding these smooth, colorful pieces on shorelines. TikTok’s new feature brings this coastal hobby into the digital world. It lets users experience the fun of the hunt without needing to be near the ocean. Anyone with the app can try it anywhere.
