TikTok is one of the hottest social media programs on the market today. It is consistently in the top downloaded apps and has become almost ubiquitous in its presence, with popular creations from the app being available almost anywhere.
TikTok now has over 850 million users, making it one of the largest social networks available today. The majority of TikTok users use the app via an iPhone, and its popularity has helped spawn a wide array of new celebrities, just like Vine before it. Fortunately, the app is also available via a desktop computer, and many users have found that it is easier to browse and create on their computer, rather than their phone.
