If you think that TikTok is the only successful Chinese app ByteDance, you are wrong. Recently, another ByteDance application has climbed the charts of digital stores in the United States. It’s about CapCuta tool of video editing that allows you to easily create online videos and memes. And given the problems that TikTok is having with lawmakers around the world, one wonders what the interventions will be on this successful application.

According to app tracker data, CapCut has been downloaded more times than TikTok in recent weeks. A news in itself, considering how the latter has been at the center of media and political attention for issues related to privacy and user data security.
CapCut offers a number of features to edit videos. Special effects, filters, transitions, texts and stickers. Creators who want to publish their content on TikTok, Instagram and YouTube love it.
Launched in 2019 with the original name of Viamaker, it has changed its name to CapCut and can be downloaded on iOS and Android.
CapCut is part of ByteDance’s strategy to expand its app portfolio beyond TikTok, which in the meantime has reached over one billion monthly active users worldwide. Besides TikTok and CapCut, ByteDance also owns other popular apps like Douyin (the Chinese version of TikTok), Toutiao (a news aggregator), Xigua Video (a video streaming service) e Helo (an Indian social network).
ByteDance therefore continues to innovate ea expand your digital empire, despite the accusations of espionage received from the USA and the EU. It remains to be seen whether lawmakers around the world will treat CapCut and other apps with the same distrust of TikTok.
