Short-form video app TikTok is garnering several new users every day as one of the most popular social media platforms out there right now. But how many users are there on TikTok?

TikTok was launched back in 2017, and a year later in 2018, it merged with video app Musical.ly, which already had a reasonable degree of popularity.

Since then, the app has grown massively, with the maximum video size expanding from 15 seconds to now as long as 10 minutes, and the focus on dance content shifting to a much broader range of categories and styles on the app.

Countless popular celebrities have made their own accounts on the app, along with many others who want to stay up to date with the latest viral trends and topics that stem from the site. But how many users does TikTok now have?

How many people are there on TikTok?

TikTok has over 1 billion monthly active users worldwide.

In 2017, the app reportedly had only 65 million annual users, which is a testament to just how huge TikTok has become in a relatively short space of time.

The app has now also been downloaded over three and a half billion times, and it generated an estimated revenue of $2.475 billion in the first quarter of 2023. The app also had over 1.398 billion monthly active users in Q1 2022, according to DemandSage.

TikTok’s growth looks set to continue in a big way throughout 2022, and there’s no doubt that as the app continues to have an even bigger impact on social media, even more people will want to sign up and see what the fuss is all about.

And with so many popular influencers building platforms and launching careers thanks to TikTok, it makes it an even more appealing option for people looking to get a following.
