Since India has banned Chinese applications including “TikTok” many more nations are thinking about following suit. The United States of America is contemplating banning the Chinese application called TikTok.
As a result, many applications endemic to the USA are emerging, which imitates the functioning if TikTok. What needs to be taken into consideration is the fact that TikTok enjoyed a large customer made globally. People from all over the world had downloaded this application, and it had sort of become a viral trend.
But in light of China’s ambiguous stand in various issues of global importance, the Chinese applications have come under the scanner and countries are deciding whether to pull the plug on them or not.
An American application called “Byte” is slowly becoming very popular, and many users have already downloaded this application onto their phones. Byte has witnessed a significant surge in its downloads post the news of a probable ban on TikTok. Don Hofman has created byte, and he had also co-founded a similar kind of an application called “Vine” a few years ago. Vine was taken over by twitter bug was subsequently discontinued from functioning.
As TikTok straddles between continuation and discontinuation, a lot of applications which are based on similar tenets are gaining a lot of attention in terms of investment also. It definitely looks like a bubble at the moment, and more clarity can only be put into perspective once a formal decision has been taken concerning TikTok and its operations globally. The ‘infamous’ did enjoy a consumer base of over two billion users which is an astounding number in its own right.
