TikTok has become the most downloaded social network in the world

Facebook has long held the title of social network with the highest number of downloads in the world. However, the relatively new TikTok platform has taken over the Internet in recent years, and according to Nikkei’s analysis, this ranking now dominates. The Phone Arena portal informed about the news.

Other platforms are also trying to copy the glory of TikToku

TikTok brought a completely new format to the world of social networks, which was later adopted by other platforms. Instagram previously introduced a feature called Reels, and later YouTube added YouTube with YouTube Shorts. Although short videos are not their focus, they at least bring users a new type of content as a refreshing alternative to regular posts.

The revolution in watching videos was also brought about by YouTube, where shorter videos up to 10 minutes still dominate, in contrast to the slightly longer films and series offered by traditional television. TikTok pushed the boundaries even further and introduced fast videos with an average length of nine to fifteen seconds.

TikTok is no longer just about fun videos

At the beginning of its fame, the social network was flooded with funny clips, but today you will also find educational videos, life tips, instructions for various areas and much more. TikTok’s popularity has also been noticed by companies, and today they advertise their products and services there as well, not just on Facebook and Instagram as they once did.
