Tik Tok
Start A Video?
With Tik Tok, you can create videos of you mouthing along to songs and/or dancing to them. Tik Tok is a social media platform that lets you create videos and post them. Tik Tok used to be called Music.ly. Tik Tok videos can be considered digital karaoke. When you download TikTok, if you download it on the app store it says 12+, and on Google Play it says “teen maturity”, but my opinion on the age limit is that it should only be for 18+.
The reason behind why I think it should be 18+ is because I have friends that started using Tik Tok last year, and they are so different this year. It can be dangerous because with Tik Tok, people can see your location unless you change that in the settings. The next very popular social media trend is House Party
House Party
Lets Chat!
With House Party you can chat with up to eight people. House Party is a social media platform used to chat with or video call friends. It is meant for teens that are “ready” for social media but aren’t old enough, I think that it should be changed because it could cause problems. If someone is 12, and has a younger sibling that is 10, they might start complaining and start asking for the app, just so they can be like their sibling.
