TikTok: Create and watch millions of short-form mobile videos

TikTok is one of the most downloaded and entertaining musical apps these days. It came on the rise in August 2018, when Musical.ly was abruptly taken down from the google play store.

So, the users of Musical.ly started moving towards the app of TikTok. TikTok might strike you as a bit similar to ‘Dubsmash,’ but it’s more than just an app to record a video. You can create lip-sync videos, record yourself dancing to music and even act on some of the dialogues from famous movies.

Basically, it offers a wide range of short videos to play with. In previous months, TikTok has seen a remarkable rise in its users. It’s believed to be an addictive app that includes some of the most incredible features ever seen in an app, i.e., lip-sync videos, user profiles, and much more.
