You can also sign up using a social media account such as Facebook. TikTok requires you to provide your phone number or email address.
Like other social media applications, you have to create an account to download the app. For those users under 13 years old, TikTok requires parental approval and provides limited access to the platform. It’s most popular with 13- to 24-year-olds.
Worldwide, the TikTok app has been downloaded more than 1.2 billion times on mobile devices. Over time, a powerful algorithm pushes content to you based on your viewing history. You can follow your favorites. And you can “like” and comment. You can view other people’s videos, swiping from one to the next - endlessly. Like Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter, TikTok is a social media platform. Users broadcast themselves in often-entertaining clips that include lip-syncing to popular music, dancing, and animation. TikTok is a mobile app that lets you shoot, edit, and post videos, most often 15-seconds or less. “It’s very important for social media platforms to continually evaluate their community guidelines, because life is ever-changing, (and) threats are ever-changing,” said Paige Hanson, Chief of Cybersecurity Education at NortonLifeLock. Attorneys general from 43 states and Washington, D.C., recently asked TikTok and Snapchat about their security measures and parental controls. The social media app has also raised concern about the types of harmful content kids can potentially access. TikTok - owned by ByteDance Inc., a Beijing-based social media company - has come under scrutiny for the information it gathers about users, how that information might be used, and who might have access to it. The short-form video-sharing app TikTok* has become wildly popular with young people, but it’s losing fans among parents, businesses, and governments over privacy and security concerns.
