TikTok is the international version of Douyin that was released in the Chinese market inSeptember
2016. Launched in 2017 for Android and iOS both in majority of the markets outside of mainland
China; however, it only became available globally after merging with another Chinese social
media service, Musical.ly, on August 2, 2018.
TikTok and Douyin have almost the same user interface, but they cannot access each other's
content. Each of their servers resides in the market where the respective application is available.
Both products are similar, but their features are not identical. Douyin includes a video search
feature that can search by people's faces for other videos with them, and features such as shopping,
hotel reservations, and geotagged review creation.
Since their launch, TikTok and Douyin have quickly gained popularity worldwide. In October
2020 TikTok crossed 2 billion mobile downloads globally. Morning Consult named TikTok the
third fastest growing brand of 2020, behind Zoom and Peacock. Cloudflare has ranked TikTok as
the most popular website of 2021, surpassing Google.
One billion active users in 154 countries make TikTok one of the most popular social media platforms as of 2022.
