TikTok surpasses 1 billion monthly active users; US, Europe biggest market

TikTok, a short video production platform, has exceeded 1 billion global monthly active users. The video sharing platform owned by ByteDance said that as of January 2018, it had approximately 55 million users worldwide. By December 2018, this number had increased to more than 271 million, and by December 2019 it had increased to 507 million. “I say thank you on behalf of the TikTok team,” said Vanessa Pappas, TikTok’s COO. “No matter where you are in the world, we would never do this without you.” In contrast, social media giant Facebook had 3.51 billion monthly users in its app series in the second quarter, up from 3.45 billion in the first quarter. At the same time, YouTube has more than 2 billion monthly active users. Eight years after the company was launched in 2005, it broke the 1 billion mark in 2013. TikTok said its biggest markets are in the United States, Europe, Brazil and Southeast Asia, even though its parent company ByteDance is headquartered in China. In the latest development, TikTok is adding new warnings to its in-app search to alert users when the results may contain “disturbing content.” Since last year, the app has adopted “sensitive content” warnings for individual videos, but updated alerts will appear in search results, searching for terms that may contain such content. In a blog post, TikTok uses “horror makeup” as an example as a search term, which may prompt such warnings. Last year, the Indian government stated that it would ban 59 applications developed by Chinese companies, including the Bytedance TikTok, because of concerns that these applications engage in activities that threaten national security.
