TikTok user numbers: This is how popular the app is

TikTok turned into one of the most popular social media platforms in a very short time. The application is used by people from all over the world. New statistics make it clear that since 2018, monthly user numbers have increased more than tenfold.

The development of TikTok user numbers worldwide

In 2020, TikTok exceeded 2 billion downloads for the first time. However, users of an app are not measured by the number of downloads, but by the number of "Monthly Active Users (MAU)". The increase in the number of active users of TikTok between 2018 and 2020 speaks for itself:

• Beginning of 2018: just under 55 million active users
• End of 2018: more than 271 million active users
• End of 2019: More than 507 million active users
• Mid 2020: almost 690 million active users

TikTok user numbers in Germany are growing steadily

In Germany, too, TikTok is showing signs of ever-increasing popularity. While the free app still had around 5.5 million active users in Germany at the end of 2019, the number rose to almost 11 million users within a year. This means that TikTok has even doubled its user numbers in Germany in a very short time.
