The world of social media was shaken when the popular app, TikTok, was banned in India in 2020. Since then, many have wondered what could replace the beloved app.
While it is impossible to replace the exact effects of TikTok, there are several other apps that have gained in popularity due to its absence.
The first app that has seen an increase in usage since TikTok’s ban is Instagram Reels. This feature was introduced by Instagram to allow users to create short videos and edit them with effects and music from a library. It functions very similarly to TikTok allowing users to create content and even add a hashtag for visibility.
Another interesting replacement for TikTok is YouTube Shorts. This feature was introduced by YouTube earlier this year as a way for users to create short-form videos and share them with their followers.
Unlike Reels, Shorts allows users to use their own music or audio clips from YouTube’s library. It also allows creators to use different editing tools like speed control, trimming and more.
Triller is another app that has seen an increase in usage since the ban of TikTok. This app allows users to create short videos with music from their library or from Triller’s library of songs. It also offers special effects such as slow motion or fast-forwarding which can be used to give your video a unique look.
Conclusion:
TikTok may be gone but its legacy lives on through other apps like Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts and Triller which have all seen an increase in usage since its ban. While they may not be exact replacements for TikTok, they offer plenty of features that can help creators make amazing content just like they could on the now defunct app.
