This app has reached 1.5 billion users and is growing more and more with every day. There is endless content the users can produce and watch. This app is also free to everyone. If the producer gets enough views on their videos or “skits” they can even expect to make some money directly from Tik Tok. 







The app works similar to instagram where people log into their accounts and create profiles. Each profile has a bio and a place for their content.
