TikTok Statistics and User Count for 2024

TikTok is a social media app that allows users to create, share, and discover short videos. The app was developed by a Chinese company called ByteDance and was launched in September 2016 under the name Douyin. It was later released in international markets under the name TikTok in September 2017.

The app allows users to create short videos of themselves lip-syncing, dancing, or performing skits to music or other audio clips. Users can also browse through a feed of videos created by other users and follow accounts they find interesting. TikTok uses an algorithm to personalize the content that appears on each user’s “For You” page, based on their viewing history and engagement with the app.

TikTok has become a popular platform for viral content, and many users have gained large followings and even launched careers through the app. However, the app has also faced criticism for issues related to privacy, content moderation, and censorship.
