Toutiao Statistics and User Count (2023)

Toutiao, also known as Jinri Toutiao, is a Chinese news and information platform that uses artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms to deliver personalized content to its users. The platform was launched in 2012 by Beijing ByteDance Technology Co., Ltd., which also owns popular apps such as TikTok and Douyin.

Toutiao’s algorithm analyzes users’ browsing habits, search queries, and other data to provide a customized feed of news articles, videos, and other content from a wide range of sources. The platform covers a variety of topics, including news, entertainment, sports, finance, and technology.

In addition to its personalized news feed, Toutiao also offers a range of other features, such as live streaming, online games, e-commerce, and social networking. The platform has become increasingly popular in China, with over 300 million daily active users as of 2021.

Toutiao has been recognized for its use of AI and machine learning to deliver personalized content, and has won numerous awards for its innovation and technology. However, the platform has also faced criticism for its content moderation practices and for spreading misinformation and fake news. The Chinese government has imposed strict regulations on the platform and other social media platforms to prevent the spread of false information and harmful content.
