What Are the Best TikTok Alternatives to Try

TikTok is your to-go-to app if you enjoy making and sharing short, fun videos.

However, TikTok isn’t for everyone. While some people have security issues with the app, others are stuck and wonder how to get TikTok followers.

The good news is that there are other apps in your Play store that can offer you a similar experience as TikTok. And to help you make a wise choice, let’s look at five of the best TikTok alternatives you can try out.

1. Instagram Reel

Instagram, the popular photo-sharing app, introduced Reel in 2020, and the app is already making waves in social media.

Instagram Reel allows you to record and share 15 seconds videos with your Instagram followers.

With Reel, you can also add music and cool stickers, filters, and effects to your clips. The app also allows you to trim your clip and adjust its speed. Once you’re done with your video, you can share it on your feed or Instagram stories.

2. Dubsmash

If you have security concerns with TikTok, Dubsmash is your best alternative as the app doesn’t collect your data or keep track of your GPS location.

The app that has more than one hundred million downloads has been around since 2014.

Dubsmash allows you to create ten-seconds, fun clips. You can also add text, filters, stickers, and other effects to your clip and share it with other Dubsmash fans.

With this app, you can also share your content on other social media apps such as Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and many more.

3. Byte

Byte, just like TikTok, has a simple, user-friendly interface. The app also allows you to sort your content into different genres. Some of the most popular genres on the app include pets, comedy, K-pop, fashion, and anime.

With this app, you can shoot a 6.5 seconds video called a byte or import an already pre-recorded clip to the app. Once your byte is ready, add text or music to it and share the clip with the thriving Byte community.  

Although this app lacks fancy effects that you can add to your videos, we still think it’s a great app due to its great and diverse content.

4. Triller

Triller has gained a massive following since it was launched in 2015. The app, which is TikTok’s biggest competitor, is very popular with celebrities. Some famous artists that call this app home include Justine Bieber, Cardi B, Chance the Rapper, Rita Ora, Eminem, and Kevin Hart.

One of the reasons this app is so popular is its great auto-editing tools that make it so much easier to create customized videos. 

Another great Triller feature is its massive music library. The easy-to-use app also allows users to collaborate with friends while creating a video.

5. Likee

Likee is another great app with tons of effects. The app comes with neat filters and stickers that you can experiment with to make your clip unique. For instance, you can use one of the app’s filters to change your hair color or star in a movie role.  The app also has a great music selection and music filters.

With Likee, you have the alternative of making live long-form videos or short TikTok-like clips. The app has a variety of content to choose from and a great community for you to create a following.  

There you have it, five great TikTok alternatives. Even if you aren’t a fan of TikTok, you can still create and share those fun and interesting videos with any of the above apps.
