According to the Science and Technology Board Daily, citing insiders of ByteDance, in order to reduce costs and increase efficiency, ByteDance has cut off the project team of the social app "Party Island", and the project team members returned to the original team of Zhongtai. The insider said that "Party Island" was soon removed from the shelves due to issues related to the safety process, and the project was canceled because the re-launch date was unknown. Foresight News previously reported that ByteDance began testing the metaverse social app "Party Island" at the beginning of the year, and then launched a public test in July. However, shortly after the start of the public test, it was removed from the app stores of Huawei, Xiaomi, and Apple.
