What is TikTok?
TikTok is a video sharing app on which users create and share vertical videos of up to 15 seconds. Users can explore hashtags are used to find unique lip-syncs, challenges, practical jokes and more. TikTok users can also interact with others through “response” videos or through lip-synching “duets” (i.e. in which you duplicate videos and add yourself alongside). The app has a huge library of music and sound effects which can be used to score videos.
Where Did TikTok Come From?
Hailing from China, TikTok was first launched under the name Douyin in 2016. The video sharing app’s 2017 merger with Musical.ly added lip-synching functionalities which are one of TikTok’s major selling points. The app rebranded to TikTok in 2018 in an attempt to lure in users from the US. By 2019, TikTok has been downloaded over a billion times, making its parent company, ByteDance, the world’s most valuable startup.
