| Triller |
When a possible ban on TikTok was on the horizon in the United States, interest in TikTok alternatives increased. Triller was one of the first to stand out, in large part because he's been aggressively recruiting to the A-list on social media, but also because he's a direct copy of TikTok.
Here's everything you need to know about Triller .
About the Triller app
It is a social video app that you can use to watch or create short videos, which can be easily edited with in-app tools, including music, filters, graphics, and more. Once a "Triller" video is posted, other users can share it, comment on it, or use the audio from it in their videos.
Triller has made various claims about its user numbers. In August 2020, a CNBC spokesperson said it had 65 million "active users" and 250 million downloads. Then, in October, it claimed to have "more than 250 million users across the top Comscore publishers" as well as "nearly 250 million downloads". But according to Business Insider, former Triller employees have claimed those numbers are five times higher than the internal numbers.
