Where are TikTokers going if the app is banned? Chinese-owned “Rednote” has gained rapid popularity in the App Store as a potential alternative. Rednote has been labeled a “TikTok clone”, but users say the experience is similar to Instagram. Rednote, also known as “Xiaohongshu”, was founded in 2013 as a shopping platform, but soon emerged into a social media app. In July, the app was valued at $17 billion. TikTok is set to be shut down and removed from Apple and Google stores this Sunday, January 19th. (Dexerto)
