It is not the first app on the list but we should give it credit for being one of the most popular apps in the first week of its launch.
Nowadays according to a survey conducted on Apkshelf, snake video is the best alternative to Tiktok
Immediately after launching its app TikTok, the US-based TikTok app went viral and was able to grab the attention of the youth.
The app was downloaded by over 500 million users in the first seven days of its launch and has over 200 million users.
The app, which is available for free on iOS and Android, allows users to create and share short videos, which are usually performed to the beats of music.
TikTok, which is short for “video intaglio,” was launched in China in 2016 by ByteDance, the company behind other apps such as the news-aggregating app Jinri Toutiao and the Toutiao news app.
It has caught on fast and has been the top app in the free apps category and the third-most-popular overall after Facebook and YouTube. It’s definitely a force to be reckoned with.
TikTok is, however, not the first app in the list of “popular” apps which I am going to describe in 2021. All these apps were available in the first week of their launch.
