Owned by a Chinese company, previously known as ByteDance, Tiktok was introduced worldwide in 2018. It joined hands with another popular app Musical.ly that influencers started using after using Vine, a popular app that allowed users to post short (7 seconds videos).

Tiktok gained huge popularity after Musical.ly joined hands. Amid COVID-19, the app popularity grew exponentially high as people flooded the app to create their short videos with music used in the background. According to Statistica, Tiktok usage grew to 180% among 15-25 years old. The app was downloaded 315 million times around the same time period.

This year, in July, Sensor Tower data reported that TikTok has been downloaded over 3 billion times, a feat only achieved by the Facebook app before it.
