These have been the most viral challenges of TikTok during 2020

During this 2020, which we are about to shelve, we have witnessed the rise of a new Internet giant. Of course, we are talking about TikTok. It is true that this social network has existed for several years and was already very popular in China. However, it has been in recent months that it has managed to establish itself in other markets, such as Europe and the United States.

TikTok stands out, mainly, for prioritizing fast consumption content, with great visual impacts.In addition, historically it has been defined as a musical social network, where the soundtrack of each video is, in most cases, the main element. These very specific characteristics have made it a perfect platform for users to challenge each other, with very complex choreographies and dances. What have been the most fun, difficult and surprising challenges that TikTok has left us this year? Here we review the best ones.

Emojifacechallenge

There are more and more emojis available for use on all kinds of platforms, such as social media applications, services like WhatsApp, or even in a Word document.

During the total confinement that many countries have experienced, some people have begun to take better care of themselves and do more sport. TikTok is full of challenges that are based on different exercises. However, if we could only keep one, that would be the challenge of the plank. We recommend that, before starting with it, you exercise your abs a bit. Otherwise, you may not be able to overcome it.

Not everything is going to be fun.Different challenges have been launched on TikTok that try to give visibility to problems in our society. One of them is The Real Callenge, promoted by UNICEF and the European Union with the aim of showing the real consequences of discrimination and bullying in educational centers and in other areas of daily life.

LevelUpChallenge

@azchpn

どちらが勝つかな❓?Which is the winner? tikdog levelupchallenge fyp dog dogsoftiktok foryourpage 犬 トイプードル チワワ

♬ Level Up – Ciara

It is clear that toilet paper has been one of the star products of the year. So much so that, perhaps, in some homes it even accumulated. In that case, what better than using it to challenge our pets? By creating a barrier of paper rolls that increased in altitude with each round, thousands of users tested the agility of their dogs and cats.The results are hilarious.

KoalaChallenge

@withlovecristy

@helenowen made me do it ?koalachallenge cristynils @nilsrosenbach

♬ Mission impossible – The Spelding's Jazz Orchestra

Again, it's time to return to the sport. Would you be able to hold the type while another person goes from hanging on your back to standing in front of you? Many users got it and named it the koala challenge Of course, we recommend that if you decide to do it, be careful not to suffer any unexpected injuries.

CouplesChallenge

Challenges as a couple have been all the rage. And not only those that have to do with music, dance or sports. Actually, the Couples Challenge can be done on the couch. You just have to respond quickly, simultaneously, to the same question. The answers will reveal what each one thinks about issues related to their own coupleThis challenge became especially popular when Jennifer Lopez starred in it.

WipeItDownChallenge

♬ WIPEITDOWN – BMW KENNY

TikTok is, in itself, a complete video editor. Thanks to it you can modify the recording speed, add effects or synchronize the video with the music. However, one of its strengths is the ease of combining different shots Many users have taken advantage of this feature to renew their appearance in a matter of seconds.

The other side of the coin: dangerous and damaging challenges

Moving away from fun, dance, choreography and music, many users have launched challenges with a very high dangerous component. During this 2020 we have witnessed the publication of videos in which risky actions are carried out and where other users are encouraged to repeat them.

This is the case of the challenge Super Glue Lips Challenge, which consists of sticking the upper lip with the nose to show an appearance similar to the of cosmetic surgery. We can also mention Outlet Challenge, which encourages users to place a coin between a wrongly placed charger and the plug itself. This challenge has had devastating consequences, the most serious being the arson attack at a US school.

If you come across some type of challenge that you consider dangerous or harmful to the he alth of other people, remember that you can report it to TikTok. It's as simple as following these steps:

• Opens the menu of additional options when viewing a video.
• Click on Report.
• Select the reason. In this case, the most appropriate is Suicide, self-harm and dangerous acts.
