The famous TikTok-viral application for iPhones called the "Retro Pod" is now unavailable on the Apple App Store, and there were no explanations as to why it was pulled out from the platform. The Retro Pod is an ingenious app that features the iPod Classic's design and uses the modern smartphones' features to replicate the feel of the old music player.
People can no longer download it from the App Store after it went viral for several months, but it remains a TikTok favorite from those reminiscent of the old days.

TikTok Viral Content
What made TikTok famous is the intuitive application that allows users to scroll through countless videos on their feed, both the Following and For You page, which delivers much viral content to all. One example would be the explainer behind what happens every time people flush the toilets in an airplane, with a pilot telling the world what is behind it.
Apart from the usual creative dance trends and funny video content, it also became a hub for information, giving people more than what they are looking for in a social media platform. Here, TikTok videos like telling everyone what it is like to drive and own a Tesla electric vehicle in Australia is a hassle and something which they do not recommend.
With the different content available online, alongside its TikTok Shop and other additional features, ByteDance's short-word social media became a multinational trend for all. It also was the place where the Retro Pod grew and gain almost half a million times since it became viral.
The sad news is that the app is now gone from the platform, without any explanations as to its departure.
