TikTok is one of the fastest-growing social media apps today. It is notably home to most viral content and trending challenges online.
TikTok's Popularity
However, as per a report by LifeWire, TikTok has been facing scrutiny, along with its massive popularity, due to the privacy concerns of some folks out there.
In fact, according to an online article by Business Insider, even the president of the United States, Joe Biden, once dubbed TikTok as "a matter of genuine concern."
Not to mention that during the Trump administration, TikTok was repeatedly threatened with being banned. It comes as it was alleged that the government of China has the potential to access its user data.
On the other hand, cybersecurity experts are saying that TikTok is not something that average consumers should be worried about.
But still, some users are looking for other TikTok-like alternatives out there, which are less controversial.
Thankfully, the popularity of TikTok has also pushed the emergence of similar counterparts.
It is worth noting that even giant social media platforms like Instagram and Snapchat have already included a TikTok-like section on their apps.
Top TikTok-Like Alternative Apps (2022)
However, if you are looking for alternatives other than the usual Insta and Snap, here are some of the best ones out there.
Likee
This TikTok alternative sports a familiar interface for those who have been using the China-based video-sharing platform.
Although it follows the same short-form video format like TikTok, it also comes with additional features like live streaming and even long-form content like YouTube.
What's more, it also flaunts a massive library of editing tools and filters to choose from, which helps users produce creative and eye-catching content.
Likee is available to download on both the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.
Byte
Although the name of this app resembles the parent firm of TikTok, ByteDance, it has nothing to do with the latter.
Instead, if you are familiar with the video-sharing app, Vine, the folks behind it are the ones who developed Byte.
The app carries an interface that is close to what TikTok has. Not to mention that there are tons of editing options and music choices available for your video content.
Triller
This emerging video-sharing app is spreading like wildfire as iconic celebrities have been storming it, such as Kevin Hart, Cardi B, Justin Bieber, and even Mike Tyson.
So, this is a great TikTok alternative if you don't want to miss out on some of the biggest names online. Thriller is available for both Android and iOS devices.
