TikTok is a video-sharing social media app available on iOS and Android. Users can create, share and view user crated videos. This is similar to Facebook, Instagram, and Snapchat.
What’s the appeal? Users can record and upload bit-sized looping videos of themselves lip-syncing and dancing to popular music or soundbites. Videos can be enhanced with filters, emojis and stickers. They are often made for comedic effect. TikTok has been designed with the young user in mind and as a very addictive appeal source.

Tik Tok is rated 12+ on the Apple app store and “teen maturity” on Google Play. There is no system in place to verify a user's age, so anyone can download this app. There is a risk that children may be exposed to music that contains explicit language and content.
