First spotted by New York Times reporter Taylor Lorenz, the redesigned profile shows avatars and follow count from the center to the left and brings more emphasis on users' bios.

Confirming the redesign to The Verge, TikTok spokesperson said that the company is testing profile designs and functionality for enhanced user engagement.
