TikTok is a social media platform that allows users to create, share, and discover short videos, typically ranging from 15 seconds to three minutes. Launched in 2016 by the Chinese company ByteDance, it quickly gained popularity worldwide, especially among younger audiences. The app features a variety of content, including dance challenges, comedy skits, and educational clips, often set to music. Users can interact with videos by liking, commenting, and sharing, as well as using various filters and effects to enhance their creations. TikTok also employs an algorithm that personalizes the content feed, making it easy for users to find videos that match their interests.
