There are those who cannot imagine a world without TikTok and those who have this application as a backup. In the West we have TikTok, TikTok Lite and TikTok Live Wallpaper, but in China the app has its own empire: there are eight TikTok apps.
TikTok apps are proliferating in China, although it might be more accurate to say that the app is divided into various apps that serve as spin-offs or complements to the TikTok we all know. AND some of these TikToks are quite curious.
Douyin (TikTok)
On the one hand, without further ado, we have TikTok, which in China is called Douyin. Chinese TikTok is mvery similar to ours, but not exactly the same
TikTok Lite
On the other hand there is Douyin Express, which could be translated as TikTok Lite. This is the version of TikTok that received a reprimand from the European Union over its rewards program, due to its “addictive like cigarettes” rewards program. This rewards program is the mainstay of Douyin Express.
TikTok Volcano
Volcano TikTok? It seems strange, and it is strange, but there is an explanation. Volcano and TikTok merged in 2020similar to what happened with Musical.ly. From this union was born TikTok Volcano. Since then, the old Volcano app has remained separate from TikTok despite being fundamentally the same.
TikTok Cat
In addition to distinct but nearly equal releases, TikTok also has occasional spinoffs. TikTok chat is the official chat app of TikTokwith which you can chat with TikTok friends. It’s a full-featured messaging app, with groups, video calls, and everything you’d expect from an app like this.
TikTok selected
There is life beyond vertical videos and it’s concentrated in TikTok Selected, the place for long-form videos, with quality niche content and medium to long duration. There’s everything, like documentaries, technology, sports or art.
TikTok Momll
In some countries, TikTok has a ecommerce store
TikTok Takesic
TikTok and music go hand in hand as the app makes it easy for content creators to use songs in their videos. In China, this goes even further with Soda Music or TikTok Music, the Official TikTok music streaming app. We cannot exclude that it ends up arriving in Europe, since its creators have already launched it in Australia, Singapore and Mexico.
TikTok Live Stream Companion
For those who usually live stream, TikTok has a specific app in the Chinese market. It’s called TikTok Live Streaming Companion and it contains “fix tools.”High quality and efficient transmission“, with lower latency. It is also available as an application for Windows.
