When was tiktok made

TikTok, originally called Douyin, was launched in China in September 2016 by ByteDance, a Chinese technology company. At the time, it was a short-form video-sharing app that allowed users to create and share videos up to 60 seconds in length.

In 2018, ByteDance acquired Musical.ly, a popular short-form video app, and merged it with Douyin to create a new app called TikTok. TikTok was launched internationally in August 2018, and it quickly gained popularity among younger generations.

TikTok's popularity soared in 2019, with the app reaching over 1 billion active users worldwide. Today, TikTok is one of the most popular social media platforms in the world, with over 2 billion monthly active users.

Here's a brief timeline of TikTok's history:

• September 2016: Douyin (TikTok's Chinese version) is launched in China.
• 2017: Douyin gains popularity in China and begins to expand to other countries.
• 2018:

  • August: TikTok is launched internationally, merging Douyin and Musical.ly.
