TikTok opens straight into a full-screen video, and the next one is a single swipe away. The app quickly learns what you watch to the end and what you skip, so the For You feed becomes more personal the more you use it.

What’s inside TikTok?

  • For You and Following feeds: An endless stream of recommendations, plus a separate feed for accounts you follow.
  • Video editor: Record clips, add music, text, stickers and effects, and trim everything without leaving the app.
  • LIVE: Watch creators stream in real time or go live yourself once your account qualifies.
  • Messages and comments: Reply to videos, chat with friends and share clips.

How to download and install

  1. The Download button opens TikTok’s official download page; you can also go directly to Google Play or the App Store.
  2. You can browse videos right away, but to post, comment or follow you need to sign up with a phone number, email or another account.
  3. Pick a few interests at the start to help the app shape your first recommendations.

Good to know

Under Settings and privacy you can make your account private, control who can comment or duet with your videos, and set a daily screen time limit. Parents can link their account to a teen’s through Family Pairing to manage these settings together.

Pros

  • Very accurate recommendations
  • Powerful video editor built in
  • Screen time and Family Pairing controls

Cons

  • Easy to lose track of time
  • Large app size on iPhone
