An Indian mobile user browses through the Chinese owned video-sharing 'Tik Tok' app on a smartphone in Bangalore on June 30, 2020. - TikTok on June 30 denied sharing information on Indian users with the Chinese government, after New Delhi banned the wildly popular app citing national security and privacy concerns.

TikTok's Popularity

However, as per a report by LifeWire, TikTok has been facing scrutiny, along with its massive popularity, due to the privacy concerns of some folks out there.

In fact, according to an online article by Business Insider, even the president of the United States, Joe Biden, once dubbed TikTok as "a matter of genuine concern."

Not to mention that during the Trump administration, TikTok was repeatedly threatened with being banned. It comes as it was alleged that the government of China has the potential to access its user data.

On the other hand, cybersecurity experts are saying that TikTok is not something that average consumers should be worried about.

But still, some users are looking for other TikTok-like alternatives out there, which are less controversial.

Thankfully, the popularity of TikTok has also pushed the emergence of similar counterparts.

It is worth noting that even giant social media platforms like Instagram and Snapchat have already included a TikTok-like section on their apps.

Likee is available to download on both the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.
