Without a doubt, TikTok is currently one of the newest and hottest social media platforms gaining mass popularity within the past 2 years with roughly over 1 billion users. It is especially popular among young people which make up more than half the platform. The Chinese apps popularity came from the fact that it is similar to the old popular video sharing app, Vine.
