From Mashable: The TikTok ban is approaching and seems more likely as each day passes. In case you didn’t know, the Supreme Court is currently considering the constitutionality of a law that would ban the app for all users in the U.S. on Sunday, Jan. 19.
The app won’t be immediately removed from everyone’s phones. Still, users will likely see a pop-up message that will take them to a website with information about the ban — making the app pretty much useless for people in the U.S. If the ban goes into effect, you reportedly won’t be able to post, message, or save videos if the ban goes into effect. You won’t be able to update or redownload TikTok.
So, as we prepare for a TikTok ban, the 170 million people who use the app in the U.S. are looking for alternatives. Some creators are encouraging their fans to follow them on other platforms like Instagram and YouTube, while others are starting anew on apps like Xiaohongshu, also known as RedNote.
Here are some of the alternatives users are flocking to.
Triller
Have you watched TikTok and thought, “Wow, this would be way better with more AI editing tools?” If you answered yes, then Triller is probably the app for you.
Similar to TikTok, it’s a short-form video-sharing platform, but this app makes it easier for users and creators to automatically synchronize their videos to music using AI. It’s creator-focused and has seen a significant uptick in downloads over the past few weeks.
