Triller, all about Trump’s favorite anti-TikTok social media
Donald Trump lands on Triller, the American app antagonist of TikTok. All the details
US President Donald Trump has opened an official account on Triller, a video sharing app similar to and competing with China's TikTok.
Here's what the American application is – and how it works.
TRUMP ON TRILLER
In the past few hours, Donald Trump has landed on Triller with the official account @donaldjtrump. The profile collected over 10,000 followers in just a few hours, while the first video, the one in which it announced its presence on the platform, got 4.8 million views.
FIRST VIDEOS AGAINST BIDEN
The first videos also appeared on the Trump channel in which the Tycoon attacked its opponent for the presidency, Democrat Joe Biden.
WHAT IS TRILLER
Born in 2015, two years before TikTok, Triller allows users to create music videos (and more) and share them within the platform.
The application is owned by the American company Proxima Media .
HOW DOES IT WORK
Triller is simple to use: users can film themselves singing and publish their video on the platform. An AI-based system will merge the best clips into some videos. No time limit for videos (TikTok videos last 15 seconds).
65,000 USERS
At the moment, the application has gained approximately 65 million users . Low numbers when you think of TikTok's 800 million users, but Triller, as announced on August 2, is already a favorite in 50 countries, including the United States, United Kingdom, France, Australia, Brazil and Germany. The app is also available in the United Arab Emirates.
THE WAR IN TIKTOK
And the countries in which the American app ranks first could grow even more, such as users. Last Friday Trump signed a decree obliging ByteDance, a Chinese company that owns TikTok, to sell the app's American assets within 90 days, with the aim of protecting the data of stars and stripes citizens.
TikTok was also banned in India in June, where 59 Chinese-owned apps were banned, including Tencent's WeChat. TikTok had around 200 million users in the Asian country.
