TikTok Inc. plans to discontinue its music service in November, ending a years-long experiment to compete with Spotify Technology SA and Apple Inc.

TikTok Music will go offline on Nov. 28 and customer data will be deleted, the music division said in a post on its website. Users were told to transfer playlists to other services no later than Oct. 28.
