TikTok is launching a new feature for users ahead of the UK general election.

The social media platform will have a media literacy hub to help users recognise fake news and misinformation online before the general election.

It said the hub had been created alongside the fact-checking organisation Logically Facts.

TikTok said the new in-app space will focus on critical thinking and news literacy covering topics such as how to spot fake news online and tips for consuming a balanced range of news.
