On December 14, TikTok announced it had entered into partnership with Samsung, one of the world's biggest supplier of smart TVs, to roll out an app â initially in the UK and Europe, then further afield.
Just as YouTube moved from short-form to long-form and from desktops to smartphones to TVs, TikTok is heading in a similar direction.
TikTok's entrance into the TV world could signal new competition down the road for Netflix, Disney, and Amazon.
Given the app's exponential rise, and the way it's almost entirely rewritten the world of digital video in its few short years of existence, you'd be a fool to bet against it making waves.
