Who has the most followers on TikTok?
TikTok is available in more than 150 countries and has been downloaded over 175 million times just in the US.
The For You page on the app tailors the videos you see without even needing to follow the creator which allows the content to spread quickly.
However, you can still follow people to connect and boost the number of their videos and similar content that you see.
As with all social media apps, TikTok has its fair share of influencers and creators with massive followings.
