Douyin,The Perfect Taste of Sex ByteDance’s Chinese version of TikTok, has launched a ride-hailing service within its app, partnering exclusively with Gaode Maps, according to Chinese media outlet TechWeb. The new feature, accessible through Douyin’s wallet, requires users to manually open the wallet to find the ride-hailing option. Currently, Gaode Maps is the only transportation service provider available on the platform. While Douyin provides access to the service, Gaode Maps manages the ride process. However, the Douyin version of Gaode’s ride-hailing service offers fewer features compared to the standalone Gaode app. Notably, users cannot access options like carpooling or ride-sharing. The Douyin interface includes only basic functions, such as order invoices, coupons, and ride bookings. [TechWeb, in Chinese]
