Most popular apps owned by ByteDance 2025
As of February 10, 2025, ByteDance's flagship product TikTok had amassed beyond six billion global downloads since its release in 2016. The Chinese company owns over 100 apps that operate in 60 countries across the world.
TikTok’s unstoppable popularity
TikTok currently enjoys over 1.5 billion global audiences, with a third living in Indonesia, the United States, Brazil, and Mexico. There was little effect with the TikTok bans from the European Union and a few other countries, barely slowing the short video app’s global expansion. The global mobile app download figures in March 2024 highlighted Facebook and Instagram as the only rivals against the Gen Z’s digital darling.
ByteDance’s other gems
CapCut, a video editor that complements TikTok, is ByteDance’s second beloved application. It was the only tool app that cracked the top ten most downloaded mobile apps in 2024. The app’s recent artificial intelligence capabilities have cemented its role in content creation among other leading AI tools. Other prominent apps from ByteDance are Toutiao (China's most popular news and information app), Xigua Video (a video-sharing site), and Unlike (a beauty camera and photo editor).
