TikTok

Short video platform

TikTok is a social media platform for creating and sharing short videos, typically set to music or featuring spoken audio.

Users scroll through an algorithmically curated feed of clips ranging from dance trends and comedy sketches to cooking tutorials and political commentary.

The app's format has shaped internet culture broadly—viral sounds, challenges, and memes often originate there before spreading elsewhere.

I saw it on TikTok, She's TikTok famous.
