TikTok Guide: What Is TikTok? (Explained)

TikTok is a newer version of the Musically application, which Chinese Company ByteDance took over. It is a short-form video streaming and sharing app which is widely popular on social media in the United States. Unlike Musically, users of the app make entertaining, lip-syncing, and funny acting skits in the shorter form of a video and share it through their accounts.

How TikTok Works?

Using a TikTok application is much different than other social media apps. We briefly discuss the working method and navigation in the app:

1. Just like account creation on any social media, signing in to the app is straightforward and easy. It also facilitates its users to create an account using their contact numbers.
2. After signing in, on the welcome screen, there are two main feeds on the interface screen. One screen shows your current activity, uploaded and shared TikTok videos. You can view the other feed by swiping left, which displays popular trends and other videos. 
3. Record your 15-second video by tapping on the plus sign at the bottom, which will open your mobile camera, and you record your video by clicking on the Red Camera Button.
4. For recording your video, you can add any song lip-sync or dance with the song flow. You can also add any comedy skit or famous drama movie dialogue to act or lip-sync on that.
5. Like Snapchat, the app has different filter effects and AR options. You can add and sync your recording, save it, and upload the final product.
6. Try working and exploring different options that the app has to offer; once you familiarize yourself with all, you can also make duet videos with other users or followers.
