When did musically turn into tiktok

Musical.ly, a popular short-form video-sharing app, was acquired by ByteDance, a Chinese technology company, in August 2016. At the time, Musical.ly had around 40 million users.

After the acquisition, ByteDance continued to operate Musical.ly as a separate app, but it also began to integrate some of its features with its own app, Douyin (also known as TikTok), which was launched in China in September 2016.

In November 2018, ByteDance announced that it would be merging Musical.ly with TikTok, and the Musical.ly app would be discontinued. The merger was completed in August 2018, and the Musical.ly app was shut down.

The Musical.ly app was replaced by TikTok, which was rebranded as the global version of Douyin. The TikTok app inherited many of the features and users from Musical.ly, and it quickly became one of the most popular social media apps in the world.

So, to answer your question, Musical.ly effectively "turned into" TikTok in August 2018, when the merger was completed and the Musical.ly app was shut down. However, the transition was gradual, and many users continued to use Musical.ly until the app was officially discontinued.
