Launched in September 2016 by Chinese technology company ByteDance, TikTok which is a video-only content-creating social media app has been the most visited platform since the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic in 2020.

Available in over 150 countries and with nearly a billion global daily users, TikTok became the preferred app for many social media users during the coronavirus lockdown.

This is because the videos on the app which are usually 30 seconds short are based on entertainment, hijinks, and comedy which kept people very entertained during the lockdown.

Because of its simple nature and unique features, celebrities also jumped onto the app to create content in order to entertain their fans and also get to tap into the different audiences on the app.

Ghanaian footballers like many others also jumped on the app to advertise their craft by posting their personal highlights while having fun too on the app.
