Tik Tok – few people today do not know what kind of application this is. If not so long ago it was considered a toy for teenagers, now there is an audience of all ages. Video hosting from the moment of its creation began to gain its audience rapidly, and those who just wanted to try something new, use an effect or sing karaoke, have now become millionaires. In this article, we will tell the history of the application and the most interesting, who created Tik Tok.
History
Let’s start with the fact that Tik Tok is not the original application, few people know, but it is a copy of the application in China Douyin. The original app came into being in 2016 and only works in a limited area, a few months later Tik Tok appeared – which was designed for the international market.
Zhang Yiming is the one who gave the world this application. The 36-year-old businessman ranks among the top ten richest people in China. The owner of a huge corporation is a rather modest and secretive person. It is very difficult to find his personal information and life stories online. Only what he posts on his Instagram page is available.
It is authentically known that Zhang Yiming is a very educated person, back in his university years he spent hours in the reading room and studied biographies, stories of successful personalities. Already in 2012, he founded his company Bytedance, and successfully began to promote it. It was hard to believe that the Chinese could compete with such networks as Facebook or Instagram, which is owned by the largest American company, but he was able to do it.
Initially, the businessman worked on news programs, created and promoted websites. After him and his ByteDance room came up with the idea of a video hosting with short videos and his team created Douyin, the application received an instant high demand, and given that there was little competition in this area, the company decided to create an international version , which we already know as Tik Tok. The owner of the application itself has an audience of more than 600,000,000 users in China alone, which is 80% of all Internet users.
Why Tik Tok has become so popular

Here are the latest developments, opportunities and discoveries that everyone can try. And here is a very clear and pleasant interface that even a child can master.
