Relevance Of Apps

Initially a social media on its way to a meteoric rise, TikTok today has been relentlessly banned in numerous countries. In Nepal, it was banned in 2023 only for the ban to be lifted in August 2024. TikTok is a popular social media app through which users can create and share short videos set to music. Its videos typically range from 15 seconds to 10 minutes and are widely used to showcase dance moves and challenges, quirky filters, lip-syncs, comedy skits, and so on. Released globally in 2016, it skyrocketed in 2020 when the world was mired in pandemic and people needed a way out of the woes of lockdown.
