While TikTok is on the rise, and has continued to gain momentum over the past year, Facebook has been working to quell the app’s growth where it can, and stop both Facebook and Instagram users from migrating across to the short video app.
Facebook’s main assault on TikTok thus far has been Instagram Reels, which it launched in India last July, just days after TikTok was banned in the region due to ongoing border disputes between India and China. Facebook swooped in to gather up as many TikTok refugees as it could, and Reels has reportedly seen good response in the nation.
