In the past, you could always see what effects are being used in a video because there was a link above the description that takes the user directly to the effect. TikTok is currently rolling out a new update that removes this link. This update makes it much more difficult for users to find and save effects.
TikTok should give us, effect creators, the ability to keep the links to our own effects visible as these links are a crucial tool for promoting new effects.
