TikTok is taking the social media world by storm. And we’re excited to introduce a lot of amazing female creators on this app.
The short-form video platform’s heavy focus on entertainment can be credited for its success. The app has taken creativity, inspiration, and entertainment to the next level with videos, live streams, music, sounds created by users, filters, creative effects, and more. TikTok’s success is transforming the social media landscape by giving users a platform to freely express themselves in every way and the ability to shine as the singer, actress, comedian, dancer, artist, teacher, and whatever else they always dreamed to be.
There is a reason that TikTok is gaining influence over its tech competitors.
TikTok Explained: Getting to Know the Fastest-growing Platform
Other social media platforms have noticed the app’s popularity and have tried to integrate similar entertaining features into their own app. Instagram, for example, created a video feature called Reels, that allows users to upload short videos with music and original sound. Many Instagram users use the feature to post their TikToks on their Instagram page. YouTube has also joined the bandwagon with YouTube Shorts, a feature that functions like TikTok, complete with full-screen videos, vertical scrolling, likes, and comments. There’s no denying TikTok’s influence over their tech competitors.
