TikTok is a hugely popular app , used by millions of users around the world. If there's one platform that could compete with it, it's YouTube . And it looks like it's trying to do just that by adding a new feature called "Shorts" that will allow users to record short videos and upload them to their feed.
The TikTok app has managed to gain a wide audience and become one of the most popular in the world, with over 500 million active users. But it seems that now it will have a rival, since YouTube, the largest video viewing platform, intends to create its own version of TikTok and attract more users.
TikTok is so popular because it allows its users to create short videos with music of their choice. YouTube's additional Shorts feature will give users the privilege of choosing any track from the platform's available ones.
YouTube includes a particularly long list of music of all genres. Users will be able to use any song they want and incorporate it into the video they record and then upload it to the mobile app.
Although TikTok is one of the favorite apps of millions of users, it has often come under fire for different reasons. For example, it was recently criticized for hiding videos created by “ugly, poor, and disabled people.” Also, Reddit CEO and co-founder Steve Huffman said that it is a “fundamentally parasitic” app that we should not install on devices .
Therefore, it is very likely that when YouTube's new Shorts is released, it will attract many TikTok users.
We don't know anything more about the exact release date for Shorts yet, but according to the report, the feature will be released around the end of the year.
