Profile match
TikTok is a short-form video platform owned by the Chinese technology group ByteDance and launched internationally in 2016, growing further after the 2018 merger with the lip-sync app Musical.ly. Its recommendation feed surfaces content by engagement signals rather than social graph, which lets new creators reach large audiences quickly and made the app one of the most downloaded in the world. The company runs dual operating hubs in Singapore and Los Angeles and has built an advertising business, a live streaming economy and the TikTok Shop commerce marketplace on top of the video feed.
