TikTok
TikTok is a popular social media app that allows users to create and share short videos. The app became famous for its dance challenges, lip-syncing videos, and funny skits. Over time, it has grown to include educational content, cooking tutorials, and even science experiments. Millions of people around the world use TikTok to express their creativity and connect with others.
One reason TikTok is so popular is its "For You" page, which shows videos based on what a person likes to watch.

Some users have even turned their TikTok accounts into careers, making money through sponsorships and brand deals.
However, like any social media platform, TikTok has its challenges. Some people spend too much time on the app, which can take away from schoolwork and family time.
