Is Musical.ly TikTok?

Musical.ly is a popular video-based social media platform that allows users to create and share short videos set to music. It was launched in 2014 and quickly gained traction amongst teens and young adults, becoming one of the most popular social media platforms in the world.

Musical.ly was acquired by Chinese company ByteDance in 2017, which then merged it with its own existing video-based social media platform, TikTok. The merger created a single unified platform with a large user base and access to a wide range of content. While Musical.ly users were able to migrate their accounts over to the new platform, there are still some major differences between the two apps.

Firstly, TikTok has a wider range of features than Musical.ly did. Users can now add filters and special effects to their videos as well as record their own voiceovers or dubbing effects over their clips. Additionally, TikTok has introduced several new formats such as “challenges” and “reactions” which have become extremely popular.

TikTok also has many more content creators than Musical.ly did, due in part to its larger user base but also because it offers more ways for users to interact with each other on the app as well as more opportunities for monetization.

In terms of design, TikTok has a much more modern look than Musical.ly did; however, many of the core features remain unchanged from when Musical.ly was its own separate app.

So, is Musical.ly TikTok?

The answer is yes; while there have been some changes since the merger between Musical.ly and TikTok, they are essentially one and the same platform now.

Conclusion:
Yes, Musical.ly is now part of TikTok after being acquired by Chinese company Bytedance in 2017; while there have been some changes since then they are essentially one and the same platform now.
