TikTok is building a number of new features, including a Bitmoji-like avatars, a For You Page, group chats, audio-only livestreams, screen sharing on livestreams and a subscription feature, which would allow creators to make subscriber-only emotes. Matt Navarra spotted these potential features-in-progress.

Just because TikTok is playing around with a new idea doesn't mean it will roll out in the app. Features can sometimes give insight into a platform's plans.
TikTok is always thinking about new ways to enrich the experience and bring value to the community. The goal is to get feedback from users and the resulting feature could look vastly different from what we see in leaks.
Some of the leaked features have already been publicly tested. The subscriber-only section of the comment section could make sense in the context of another recent TikTok test: a desktop streaming software called TikTok Live Studio. The For You Page is being cleaned up by TikTok and one of the ways it is doing so is by using the keyword filtering feature.
TikTok is working on a feature that would let people choose words or phrases they don't want to see in their For You feed.
The leaked ideas point to other possibilities for TikTok's expansion. If they can do live video, why not do live audio? It is about time that we can group message on TikTok.
TikTok is testing support for paid subscriptions.
