Tik Tok

What is TikTok? TikTok is a popular app for adults, teens, and younger kids. TikTok is a trendy app that everyone uses to make dance videos, do tutorials, film themselves cooking, talking, etc. Even celebrities are on this app. If you are famous or like a celebrity you will get a lot of followers, likes, comments, and shares.

There are different types of sounds that you can use and you can also change your voice, put a filter on, greenscreen, and a lot more. Some people spend more time than they would like on this app. You could say it is addicting to most people because you would find yourself scrolling for hours, and some people don't really know how to break that bad habit or just stop watching a lot of TikTok videos for hours at a time.

If you have a really bad habit of scrolling for hours you can set a screen time on your phone or your child's phone so they have a certain number of hours on TikTok or just any other app in general. TikTok was originally “Musically.” It was basically the same thing as TikTok but the app was older than TikTok and there are some upgrades with TikTok that Musically didn’t have.

TikTok can have some inappropriate videos but you can prevent yourself from seeing those videos on your “For You Page” (fyp) - it is part of the app that people’s videos you don't follow will not show up on your for you page. I honestly catch myself on TikTok a lot more then I would like to be on it, but sometimes I don't even know I'm on it. Me personally I like TikTok because its something to watch make videos and memories with your friends, family, neighbors, etc.

It does have a lot of celebrities and famous people on it along with actors, YouTubers, song writers, and more! A lot of teens spend most of their time on TikTok when they are In the car, hangingout with friends or family, bored, sometimes it even helps people fall asleep because of the music. The app also had ASMR for sleeping to help people fall asleep.
