'TikTok, once known as musical.ly, has exploded in popularity, becoming a household name. With a user base of over 400 million people worldwide and over 1 billion downloads, it's no surprise why. The app caters primarily to the younger generation, making it a must-have for many teens. But TikTok's success story continues; with continuous updates and improvements, the app offers many features such as filters, effects, and sounds that make it far more user-friendly than its predecessor, musical.ly. The mastermind behind this revolutionary app is Chinese tech giant ByteDance, who acquired musical.ly and fused it with their technology to create the TikTok of today.'
