These are all the apps that try to imitate TikTok

TikTok, the ByteDance application, has more than 800 million active users and millions and millions of videos posted on the app. It has become very popular due to the mechanics so different compared to other social networks: clips of less than 1 minute that can be edited as if it were an action movie, or created with the front camera of the mobile on a white wall . Anything and anyone can succeed and go viral on TikTok.

The different developers have seen all the potential that TikTok has and have not hesitated for a second to launch an alternative. These are all apps trying to imitate TikTok.

Instagram with Reels

Reels is the latest addition to Instagram, and it mimics TikTok a lot. After the launch of IGTV, which tried to imitate YouTube, the company decided to launch a new platform for short videos with the possibility of editing them and adding music, text, filters, and more. Reels is included in the Instagram feed with a specific section in each profile. In addition, after watching a video shows recommended clips from other users, following the style of "For You" on TikTok.

The interesting thing about Reels is that it is not necessary to download a specific applicationa, but rather it is integrated within the Instagram app itself . This allows us to create videos from the 'Storis' section in a very simple way.

YouTube also wants its own TikTok

Although it has not yet officially arrived in Spain, YouTube is also testing a function similar to TikTok in its own app. The goal of the app is to create videos of about 1 minute or less in vertical format, just like the byteDance app. In this way, content creators can share their day to day without having to upload a video.

Shorts, which is what YouTube's feature is called, doesn't need as much editing. Any user can pick up their mobile phone, activate the camera and quickly share content with the aim of being closer to their followers. However, the application may also make different editing tools available to users.

On the other hand, all those users who have videos of less than a minute on YouTube and want to position them as Shorts, can do so by adding the HASTAG Shorts to the video.

Snapchat and its new feature

Instagram imitated Snapchat stories, and now Snapchat itself is trying to imitate TikTok with its new feature. Spotlight is a new Feed where recommended user videos will be shown In other words, a style very similar to TikTok's “For You”, where user clips are shown on based on our tastes or interests within the app.

Snapchat will use algorithms to show each user videos that interest them. Also, unlike TikTok, the creator of the clip must send the video to Spotlight if you want it to have more views. Therefore, clips in the new Snapchat feed will contain videos from public or private users.

Triller: the most popular alternative to TikTok

Triller is an app very, very similar to TikTok. In fact, many TikTok users in the United States are They switched to this app after learning about the sanctions imposed by Donald Trump. Finally TikTok remains in the United States, and Triller has faded into the background, but it still has its users.

Triller also lets you edit videos with different filters and effects, add music, text and more. In addition, it also has a feed to see the publications of other users. The application is free and can be downloaded from both Google Play and the App Store.

SWYP, the YouPorn app that imitates TikTok

We have already talked about SWYP in tuexpertoapps.com. This is the YouPorn app that imitates TikTok. Clearly with a different theme Unlike TikTok, SWYP cannot be downloaded on Google Play or the App Store, as both app stores do not support pornography. SWYP is accessed through the browser, and allows you to watch videos in a vertical position, without any distraction. If we want to see the full video, we just have to click on it.

YouPorn uses an algorithm to show videos of our interest. So it will not be necessary to search in categories to find something that "entertains" ».

Dubsmash, another alternative to TikTok

Another alternative to TikTok and very similar to Triller. That is, a specific application where we can create and publish short videos. Dubsmash may sound familiar to you, because the app became very popular a few years ago.Now, it is often used to create and edit videos, which are then uploaded to other platforms. It offers a large number of filters and effects, as well as editing options that can be very useful for creating impressive videos.

Of course, also has a feed where we can see videos of other users, follow them etc. Dubsmash can be downloaded for free on Google Play or the App Store.

Likee

TikTok and Likee are very similar. Again, Likee is more focused on creating and editing videos to later upload them to the platform or share them through other portals The app has many editing options , and we can add effects, filters, music, text, emojis... It also includes the possibility of starting live videos so that other users can see the broadcast and even interact through games and Widgets.

Likee is also "inspired" by some Instagram features, such as face filters. The app, which is available on both Google Play and the App Store, has great reviews and a large number of downloads.

Funimate

Funimate is also a video editing app rather than a TikTok-style app, where the entertainment of the clips is more important than the editing of them. However, Funimate has also imitated TikTok with the ability to post videos on the platform for other users to see. In fact, it has a very similar interface, with profiles where users can watch other people's videos to interact with them through different games.

As I have said, where this application stands out is also in editing: effects, more than 15 filters, possibility of editing clips with improvements in some parameters(brightness, exposure…).It also has stickers, GIFs and more. Available on both Google Play and the App Store.
