That same month Facebook released Lasso, a TikTok-like app aimed at young users. In November, late-night host Jimmy Fallon sparked a wave of interest in the app after adding a new “challenges” segment on his show that invited users to post videos of themselves on TikTok. It was the most popular non-game download in the US in January. In the US, TikTok is at close to 100 million downloads, after ByteDance acquired music-video app Musical.ly in 2017. As of February 2017, the app had 200 million monthly active users in India.
Facebook, which bought WhatsApp in 2014, hasn’t broken out numbers for the app’s active users since then. That makes it a serious rival to Facebook’s WhatsApp, which as of January 2018 had 1.5 billion monthly active users globally, and counts India as its biggest market. India accounts for a quarter of TikTok’s total downloads, according to Sensor Tower.
This is most ideal for applications where a single HTTP call is preferred.The growth has come in large part from TikTok’s phenomenal popularity in Bollywood-crazy India, where young people see it as an inexpensive platform to showcase their own singing (or lip-syncing) and dancing talents, in clips of up to 15 seconds.
