Best TikTok Alternatives for Android & iOS
1. Chingari
Chingari is an Indian alternative to TikTok, with over five million downloads on Play Store and 10,000+ creators onboard. It offers an easy to use interface with tile-view for quicker navigation. There are three tabs at the top for Videos, News, and Games- yes, there’s a separate game zone where you can play quizzes to win prize money. However, the UI feels slow and needs to be polished. As of now, the content on Chingari is majorly oriented towards dance and music. Also, we noticed the lack of male creators on the platform. Overall, the videos are quite engaging but not as diverse as TikTok. For creators, the app features a dozen filters and lets you add background music to the videos. You can also set a timer or change the speed of the video. Developed by: Globussoft, Bengaluru, India
