TikTok is banned in the US: Here are 8 replacement apps

byte was developed by Vine co-founder Dom Hoffman and is currently available on Android And iOS. The app’s interface is similar to TikTok. You can either upload a video from your phone or film a new one. In terms of editing, it probably has the fewest special effects features. When I created a clip, I could only add text and a song, and the app’s choices for both were rather limited. A cool feature that Byte offers is ghost mode: if you tap the ghost icon while filming, your original image will look faded, creating a dreamlike or flashback effect.

Until you start following other users, Byte will display a variety of videos in your home feed. If you tap the magnifying glass you can start exploring. The app sorts videos into different categories like trending topics or genres like comedy, anime, weird things, pets, magic and more, instead of hashtags like TikTok uses.
