How to install Tik Tok on PC

Although it may seem strange, even a powerful social network like this may not have a desktop application. So in this short post I will show you to download and install the Android app of Tik Tok for PC.

The short format revolution

Tik Tok is a Chinese social network focused on short time vertical videos (lip synch type) that you can put the rhythm too. They are based on fun themes like dance, comedy or education. The duration time from 3 to 15 seconds.

Created by the Chinese billionaire Zhang Yiming, Tik Tok was launched in 2017 worldwide, since in 2016 it already existed as Douyin in China, (in fact they share many of the functionalities, although not exactly the same). Since then the application has had a strong global reception, being one of the most downloaded applications on Android and IOS.

In 2020, US President Donald Trump tried to ban US transactions with Tik Tok and WeChat, but was eventually blocked by order of a judge. The App has also been banned in countries like Pakistan, denouncing some videos as indecent content. Today it is one of the fastest growing social networks along with Zoom and Peacock.

Tik Tok has undergone a great evolution since its inception, and the variety of styles have been expanded including musical montages to funny short videos full of augmented reality filters. Like Snapchat or Instagram, the app has become a warehouse of creativity for young people, adults and teenagers. And their forecasts are very optimistic for the future.
