📱 What is TikTok?

TikTok is a hugely popular app where users can create, watch, and share short videos. It’s best known for creative, funny, and musical content, but it has grown into a platform where people of all ages showcase their interests and talents.

• Videos typically last between 15 seconds and 3 minutes.
• Users can sing, dance, lip-sync, or create informative and humorous clips.
• The app is available on smartphones and via the website.
• You can like, comment, share videos and follow other users.

TikTok learns from your viewing behavior and recommends videos that match your interests.

TikTok has two main sections:

• For You Page (FYP): A personalized feed of trending or viral videos based on your preferences.

You can:

• Watch and save videos.
• Like and comment.
• Join challenges (popular tasks set to music).
• Chat with friends (only if you follow each other).
