Where would the world be without social media? It has helped some people become the best of themselves, and also the exact opposite. Social media can influence people’s decisions, teach them new things, and provide opportunities for personal growth.

Consequently, new social network channels have emerged with more outstanding features than pre-existing ones. For instance, when Facebook arrived, it was the perfect instant messaging app for everyone and a great platform to connect with friends and family.

However, when WhatsApp and Instagram were introduced, they became better alternatives for quick messaging and connections. There is a long list of other social media platforms that have been outstanding through the years, however, TikTok has surprised many in various ways.

TikTok was launched by ByteDance in 2017 as an entertainment app to suit people’s interests. It also gained mass popularity because it was deemed compatible with iOS and Android devices.
