TikTok is a social media platform for creating, sharing and discovering short videos. The app is used by young people as an outlet to express themselves through singing, dancing, comedy, and lip-syncing, and allows users to create videos and share them across a community.
Like Whatsapp and many other similar apps, TikTok need your phone number for registration. Without which you won't be able to create an active account on TikTok. TikTok has a minimum user age of 13 years-old.
TikTok has global offices including Los Angeles, New York, London, Paris, Berlin, Dubai, Mumbai, Singapore, Jakarta, Seoul, and Tokyo.
How Does it Work?
Like most other apps and social networks, users can follow other users, like and comment on other user’s videos. Teens can send emjois to their favourite singer on TikTok.
Users can select the song they wish to use in their video first, then record themselves miming along to the music. Alternatively, users can record their video first and then select a song, and/or add a voiceover. The app has lots of ways to add more fun to user's videos, for example, there are options to shoot in slow-mo, time lapse, fast forward, filters, effects or even play the song backward etc. Once users are happy with their video, they can post it to their followers and share it on other social networks for example; Messenger, WhatsApp, Instagram etc. There is also a duet feature which allows you to connect with another user.
The search tool allows users to view other videos. Users can also view content under the trending hashtags on the 'For You' page. Trending hashtags allow users to view content that is currently popular, and contribute their own video to that trend using the same hashtag.
