The ban was lifted after 20 days but it did hamper its user base growth for the month in India. It became one of the most popular apps in India since its launch in August 2017.

TIKTOK

Tiktok emerged as a major competitor for social media platforms such as Instagram, Facebook and Periscope soon after its launch in 2016 due to its short video feature which allows users to create videos up to 15 seconds.

It claims to have over 500 million users worldwide and over 200 million in India (120 million monthly active users). It became one of the most popular apps in India since its launch in August 2017.
