Best TikTok Alternatives/ Apps Like TikTok
1. Dubsmash
Released on November 14, 2014, Dubsmash is one of the oldest video-sharing social media service application in existence. Due to the unforeseen rise in the vogue of Musical.ly (later known as TikTok), Dubsmash was left behind.Â
Dubsmash still boasts a respectable one hundred million installs and the application is still used by many to create fun lip sync videos and memes to famous movie and TV dialogues. Similar to TikTok, Dubsmash is available on both Android and iOS.Â
Using Dubsmash you can even add stickers and text overlays to make your content more engaging.
As far as the user interface is concerned, it is mostly similar to that of TikTok. In the explore section you will be greeted by short-form videos created by other users on the platform and once you follow your favorite creators their content will start appearing in your personal feed.
2. Funimate
If you are scouting for apps like TikTok that aren’t social media then Funimate might impress you. As its Google Playstore description reads, Funimate is a video editor & video maker.Â
Similar to TikTok the app allows users to create entertaining lip-sync videos, slow-motion videos, fan edit videos, and much more.
The content created on Funimate can later be shared on any other social media platform like Instagram, Youtube, and others. Additionally, you can even share your creative music videos on Funimate, and grow your fan base on the platform.Â
Funimate is a free to use application, but you can unlock several video effects and features by buying the pro version of the app.
3. Mitron
Mitron is one of the best TikTok alternatives in India. Due to its resemblance to the Pakistani app TicTic, this Indian TikTok alternative has been in news for quite some time now. As a matter of fact, Mitron was removed from the Google Playstore as it violated Google’s spam and minimum functionality policy.
Thankfully, the developers have made the necessary changes and the app can now be directly downloaded from the Playstore. Mitron can be used to create, edit, and share videos, and thanks to its UI resemblance with TikTok, most TikTok users will feel right at home.Â
It is worth noting that Mitron has been in existence for only a few months. Due to this very reason, the application is yet not as feature-packed as TikTok. Lastly, the Mitron app is presently only available for Android.
4. Chingari
Chingari is also an Indian alternative to TikTok. You can effortlessly find regional content in different languages like Punjabi, Marathi, Hindi, Gujarati, Bangla, and many more on Chingari.
In addition to creating and watching videos, Chingari can also be used to watch the news and play several small games. Chingari allows users to download their favorite videos for offline viewing.Â
Chingari boasts a massive user base of around 1 million users and after the anti-china sentiment, its popularity has been rising drastically. Similar to TikTok, Chingari is available on both Android and iOS.
Despite being two years old, Chingari is still not flawless and users have reported several problems. Overall, it’s a great alternative to TikTok.Â
5. Zili – Funny Videos
Zili – Funny Videos is the next app like TikTok. The UI of Zili is also similar to that of TikTok and there are dedicated for you and the following sections. Zili also packs a powerful set of special effects, background music, text editing tools, stickers, and filters that will take the quality of your videos to a new horizon.
