In November 2018, Lark became ByteDance's internal communication and collaboration platform.
In April 2019, Lark became available in overseas markets.
In March 2020, ByteDance prepared to release a "Google-like suite of office collaboration tools" (referencing Google Workspace) focusing on cloud-based file management and document and spreadsheet editing.
