TikTok Statistics and User Count (2023)
Last Updated on: May 16th, 2023
Here are a few of the most interesting TikTok statistics and facts I was able to dig up including TikTok user counts. As always, be sure to check back in the future as I will be updating this post as new and updated stats become available.
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.

Please note that some of these numbers are easier to find than others. A few of these TikTok statistics come from their own reports, but some are based on news reports and not official company tallies. No information contained on DMR should be relied upon to make investment decisions. Basically, this is the best I can find and I don’t guarantee anything to be 100%.
