Article analysis:

The article is generally reliable and trustworthy as it provides accurate information about the changes made by TikTok in its direct messaging settings. It also provides insights into how these changes could help TikTok compete against Instagram in terms of social features. However, there are some potential biases that should be noted.

Additionally, the article does not provide any evidence for the claims made about how this change could help TikTok compete against Instagram and does not present both sides equally.
