Where did it come from and who created it?
The app Musical.ly was bought in November 2017 by Chinese developer ByteDance, for markets outside of China. In August 2018 they merged with the app VideoStar and rebranded the app to TikTok. TikTok is not available in China however the app Douiyn is the TikTok equivalent app in China, and its servers are based in countries where the app is available. TikTok owner ByteDance is a $75 billion Chinese tech giant. At the beginning of 2019 it had 188 million new users.
Who uses it and how did it become successful?
TikTok is available in 154 countries worldwide with 500 million users. 41% of users are aged between the age of 16-24, 55.6% of users are Male and 44.4% are female. India has many users (which is interesting because it is banned in India), and accounts for approximately 25% of app downloads. TikTok is intended for 13+ users according to the app's community guidelines. The app can be safe for teens with proper parental guidance. It is successful because social media is a big thing these days and young people are embracing it because it is easy to use and entertaining.
It became successful due to the rise of social media through the use of phones and devices. TikTok’s success is largely due to the popularity of Musical.ly. It is currently the most popular app in the USA with over 26 million monthly active users. There are many famous people that use the app such as; Britney Spears, Will Smith, Gordon Ramsay and The Rock. These famous celebrities bring attention to the app from their reputations and fan following.
Where and why did it get banned?
TikTok has been banned in two different countries; India and Indonesia. In both countries the governments felt that it encouraged inappropriate content and was targeting youth and children. Both countries rescinded the bans after TikTok implemented safety protocols and age verification policies. Currently TikTok is not banned in any countries.

Recount.
In the 2 week holidays I went to Kiakora with one of my best friends, Gabby. My dad also came. It took us a 2 and a half hour car ride to get there, but we finally reached kia kora. We were all very exhausted. I showed Gabby my batch and gave her a quick tour. My cousin and my cousins girlfriend was staying with us for 2 nights!, I was super excited because they are both so nice. I introduced Gabby to the girlfriend(Her name is Jess) We settled in and relaxed for about 1 hour. At about 3.00 my dad, Gabby, Jess and I went to the Rugby where my cousin Cam was playing. When we arrived at the rugby Gabby and I went straight to the playground by the school, We went onto the swing and pushed each other very high. One time gabby pushed me so high it was like I was in an airplane. Afterwards we got a bit bored and decided to go support cam in rugby. We found my Dad and Jess on the other side of the rugby field. We walked over trying not to get stomped over by the strong rugby players, Or get hit by the ball. At the end of the game Cam kicked the ball into himself ran all the way down to the other end leaving the other team behind him like a trailer, then passing it on to his team mate and that was the winning score. We all cheered and it sounded like mad elephants stomping on the muddy,wet ground. We went back to the batch and wanted to go on the biskit, But Dad said tomorrow because it was too late. That night we went out on the boat and put our cray pots for the night to collect in the morning. I got my hole sleeve wet and my face wet. Everyone laughed at me and I laughed along with them. We came back in and watched the sun go down very slowly. Then we went to get some dinner, we had the best sushi in the wrorld. Gabby and I then watched a movie and started to go to bed at like 11.00. In the morning we could go out on the bisket and we were super excited, Gabby and I got into our wetsuits, But it was so hard it felt like I was trying to put on togs after there wet!! Then we started to head to the place we always go biskiting. And the sun keept on hiding behind the clouds and so it went dark sometimes. Gabby and I then hopped onto the biscuit and pointed up as a symbol to go faster. Then dad went faster and it was so hard all I wanted to do was let go but it wasn't close enough to the shallow.(I like falling by the stone beach because if someone doesn't tell my dad that I fell he will keep on going and I can Swim back to shore.) But we were a little too deep for that. I held on for dear life and tried to point slower because both of us were going to fall off. I quickly pointed down and then held back on. Dad saw the signal and slowed down and we got off for 5 minutes. Then we went back on.As soon as we started dad went slower. It was like we were a slimy snail all wet and gross. Then dad pointed to something in the water and I thought It was a seal so I yelled to dad to pull us in . On our way in he said there's a hole pod of dolphins!! I was in a bit of shoke and still yelled at my dad to keep on pulling. Once we got onto the boat we went up the front and raced the dolphins. Gabby wanted to go on with the dolphins to she went on by herself. I stayed safe on the boat. Then most of the dolphins left and I went back on. Then to dolphins were surrounding us. A mother and a baby. I was a little scared but got used to it. We then got off and jumped off the Jetty.( The Warf) Gabby only jumped once but I jumped 10 times!! We were tired and wanted to relax for 5 minutes. We spent the whole day in our wetsuits and went on the bisket multiple times. The next day Jess, Cam and my dad went fishing because Gabby and I were still asleep. They had to come back because cam got a call from my aunt( His mum) Some sad news. Cam, decided to go home to support his dad. Then the next two days we were on the biset and jumping off the wharf!
