Most popular apps owned by ByteDance 2024
As of May 8, 2024, ByteDance's flagship product TikTok had amassed more than 5.45 billion global downloads since its release in 2016. The Chinese company owns over 40 apps that operate in 60 countries across the world.
TikTok’s unstoppable popularity
TikTok currently enjoys over 1.5 billion global audiences, with a third of them living in the United States, Indonesia, Brazil, and Mexico. There was little effect with the TikTok bans from the European Union and a few other countries, barely slowing the short video app’s global expansion. The global mobile app download figures in December 2023 highlighted Instagram as the only rival against the Gen Z’s digital darling.
ByteDance’s other gems
CapCut, which serves as a video editor that complements TikTok, is ByteDance’s second beloved application. It was the only tool app that cracked the top ten most downloaded Android application list in December 2023. The app’s recent artificial intelligence capabilities have cemented its role in content creation among other leading AI tools. Other prominent apps from ByteDance are Toutiao (China's most popular news and information app), Xigua Video (a video-sharing site), and Unlike (a beauty camera and photo editor).
