TikTok is a social media platform for creating, sharing and discovering short videos. The app is used by young people as an outlet to express themselves through singing, dancing, comedy, and lip-syncing, and allows users to create videos and share them across a community.
TikTok is a fun app that allows teens to create and share videos with their friends. Since the early days of social media (in particular on YouTube,) lip-syncing videos have proved a popular form of user-generated content among teens. The popularity of TV shows such as Lip Sync Battle has also helped drive interest in this type of platform.
If you have an account, you can watch, like, and share videos. You can also create your own video content. To recreate a “sound” or in layman’s terms, to use the same sound or song from another video, you simply click the spinning circle in the bottom right-hand corner, then click, “Use this sound.” Bam — you can now make a video to that same song.
Users have to be at least 13 years old to make an account. It’s totally free to sign up and all you have to do is make an account by downloading the TikTok app from the App Store. Once it’s installed, open the app and swipe up to explore your feed. After reviewing the Terms & Conditions, tap the profile icon in the bottom right-hand corner. Make an account using either a phone number or email.
