Blog 12: TIK TOK

WHAT IS IT? 




TikTok is a social media  app for creating videos that you can lip sync, act, dance, or sing on. These "sharing short videos range from 3-15 second music videos to 3-60 second short looping videos". This app has become very popular, particularly for people ages 15-24 years old. You will also see users as old as 65 making Tik Tok videos as well, crazy right? 


Even though Tik Tok is the app to have right now, doesn't mean its all that great for everyone. Just like Instagram and Snapchat, these apps can create some mental health problems. Looking at girls and boys that they believe are good looking can cause some anxiety.


"TikTok is the leading destination for short-form mobile video. Our mission is to inspire creativity and bring joy."






WHEN DID IT LAUNCH? 


 Tik Tok was launched in 2017 by Chinese developer ByteDance. It is growing more and more everyday as "most recent comScore data from March 2019 showing that TikTok’s US unique visitors stood at 14.3 million, representing an almost-doubling again in just 6 months."
